INTRODUCTORY. 



MOORE'S HOOSIEIjrny-CI.<^^E^rA. is a compilation of 
Statistical, Official, Hist;orical, Political and General Informa- 
tion, having for its particular ' field the gVeat State of Indiana. 

It is designed to be a' 'c6n<^ise, complete, up-to-date and 
thoroughly reliable reference., work f<)u the busy Parmer, Mer- 
chant, Lawyer, Educator, Politician, or other citizen, business 
or professional man, who desires to l^now something of the men 
and machinery of current administration, party leadership, offi- 
cial tenures, salaries, etc., latest census and voting statistics, 
farming statistics, and numberless disconnected facts pertaining 
to the State and its officials and various institutions, that outside 
of this work would have to be sought from a score of different 
sources. 

The plan of the work is new and original, and we confi- 
dently believe nothing approaching it in detail and thorough- 
ness, and educational value for citizens of Indiana, in reference 
to the State and its government, institutions, officials, and affairs 
generally, has heretofore been produced. 

It will be noted also, that in ti-eating the important subjects 
of Population and Voting statistics. Apportionment of Repre- 
sentation, Illiteracy Among Voters, etc., its scope is extended to 
take in all of the States and the Nation as a whole, thus broaden- 
ing and making complete its value as a reference work. 

It is carefully indexed, so that reference can be made to 
any subject without trouble or delay.

POPULATION NOTES. 



Only one state suffei'ed a decrease in population from 
1890 to 1900, and that was Nevada. Tbe decrease was 3,426, 
or 7.5 per cent. Nebraska's gain was very small, being but 
ooe-tenth of one per cent. The largest relative gains 
were shown by Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Arizona, viz. 
544.2, 117.5 and 104.9 per cent, respectively. 

The comparatively high rates of gain for most of the 
Southern States is pointed to as an indication of the industrial 
awakening of that section. 

All changes in population, both by number and by per 
cent, are shown in the foregoing table.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. 



The "Electoral College", which selects the President and 
Vice President of the United States in Presidential years, is 
made up of as many electors as there are Senators and Repre- 
sentatives in the National Legislature. Each state is entitled 
to two Senators, and no moi-e, while the number of Represent- 
atives varies according to population. To determine the vot- 
ing strength of any state in the Electoral College, therefore, 
add two to the number of its Representatives in Congress as 
shown by the foregoing table. Thus Indiana has 13 Repre- 
sentatives, and adding 2 for her two Senators, makes 15, the 
number of electors the state will be entitled to at the next 
Presidential Election. The whole number of Representatives 
(see table) is 386. There are 45 states, with two Senators 
each, making 90 Senators in all; 90 plus 386 equals 476, which 
represents the number of Electors that will compose the next 
Electoral College. 



SEX, COLOR AND NATIONALITY, AND NUMBER OF 
PERSONS OF MILITARY AND SCHOOL AGE. 



Of the 76, 303,387 persons composing the population of 
the United States, 39,059,242 are males, and 37,244,145 fe- 
males; 65,843,302 are native born, and 10,460,085 are foreign 
born. Divided as to color and nationality, 66,990,802 are 
white, and 9,312,585 ai'e colored. The colored population is 
made up of 8,840,789 negroes, or persons of negro descent, 
119,050 Chinese, 85,986 Japanese, and 266,760 Indians. 

There are 26,110,788 persons in the United States of 
school age, that is, from 5 to 20 years, inclusive. In Indiana, 
the number is 843,885. 

There are in the United States, 16,360,363 persons of 
militia age. The number in Indiana is 530,615.

CENTER OF POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES. 



For the last two Census Decades the Center of Population of 
the United States has been located in Indiana. In 1890 it was near 
Greensburg in Decatur county, and in 1900 near Columbus, in 
Bartholomew county. The distance traveled in ten years was only 
about 20 miles, which is the shortest move this interesting imagin- 
ary point, representing the center of gravity of the country's popu- 
lation, has ever made. This shows that the increase and expan- 
sion of population in all directions has been nearly uniform during 
the last ten years. 

Beginning with the Census of 1790, which was the first, the 



16 Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

center of population has traveled from near Baltimore, Maryland, 
to its present location at Columbus, Indiana, a distance of 500 
miles. And in this long westward course it has followed right 
along the 39th parallel, with but slight variations either to the 
north or to the south. 

The distance traveled during each decade from 1790 to 1830 
was approximately 40 miles. From 1830 to 1840, the distance cov- 
ered was nearly 50 miles, and from 1840 to 1850, 45 miles; from 
1850 to 1860, a 90 mile stride was taken, and from 1860 to 1870, the 
old pace of 40 miles to the decade was resumed. From 1870 to 
1880, a forward move of sixty miles was made; from 1880 to 1890, 
about 42 miles, and from 1890 to 1900, the pace slowed down to- 20 
miles, as stated. At this rate Indiana will continue to be the 
"hub" of the Union for sometime to come. 



CLASSIFICATION OF CITIES IN INDIANA. 



Indiana cities are divided Into Ave classes, as follows: 

First Class— Cities of 100,000 population or over. 

Second Class— Cities of 45,000 population and less than 
100,000. 

Third Class— Cities of 20,000 population and less than 45,000. 

Fourth Class— Cities of 10,000 population and less than 20,000. 

Fifth Class— Cities of less than 10,000 population. 

A town to be eligible to organize a city government must 
have a population of at least 2,000.

QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS IN INDIANA. 

A person to be permitted to vote, must be a male citizen 21 
years old or over, or a male 21 years or over who shall have de- 
clared his intention of becoming a citizen. 

The voter must have resided in the State at least six months, 
in the township CO days, and in the precinct 30 days, immediately 
preceding the olecfion. 

This does not ajiply in the sense of actual bodily residence to 
persons who have an established citizenship. As, for instance, a 
citizen of Indiana may be absent from the State five years or 
longer, so he does not establish a regular home, or vote else- 
Avhere, and can return and vote the same day of his arrival. The 
residence conditions apply to persons making actual removals, 
and offering to vote at plr.ces where they were not accustomed 
to vote before. 

An unmarried man may claim his residence and vote almost 
anywhere he pleases, so he does no act inconsistent with his 
claim. 

Voters disabled physically, or who are unable to read the 
English language, may be assisted by the poll clerks in making

STATISTICS OF ILLITERACY AMONG WHITE AND 
COLORED VOTERS. 



There are in the United States 19,036,143 white male citizens 
21 years of age and over. Of this number 17,781,850 are literate, 
that is, able to read aud write, and 1,254,287 are illiterate, or 
unable to read or write. There are 2,293,676 colored male citizens 
21 years of age and over, and 1,221,668 are literate and 1,072,008 
illiterate. 

Of the white male citizens 21 years old and over, therefore. 
6.6 per cent, are illiterate, while of the colored citizens 46.7 per 
cent, are illiterate. 

In Indiana the white male citizens 21 years of age and over 
number 701,761, and 34,903, or 5 per cent, of them are illiterate. 
The colored male citizens 21 years old and over number 18,445, 
and 5,113, or 27.7 per cent, are illiterate. 

Thus it will be seen that the percentage of illiteracy among 
white voters in Indiana is 1.6 per cent, below the average for 
the United States, and the percentage for colored voters 19 per 
cent, lower than the average for their race for the United States. 
' From the standpoint of education and general intelligence, In- 
diana ranks high. 

The highest percentages of illiteracy, both among white and 
colored voters, are in the Southern States. For instance the rate 
for native white voters in Alabama is 14.2 per cent; in Arkansas, 
10.8 per cent.; Georgia, 12.1 per cent.; Kentucky, 15.5 per cent.; 
Louisiana, 20.3 per cent.; New Mexico, 24.5 per cent.; South Caro- 
lina, 12.6 per cent.; Tennessee, 14.5 per cent. 

The per cent, of illiteracy for negi'o voters in the Southern 
States is proportionately higher. For instance tlie rate in Louisi- 



42 Mooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

ana is G1.3 per cent. In Alabama it is 59.5 per cent., wnile in a 
number of other States the proportion of illiteracy runs above 50 
per cent. 

The following- States boast the smallest percentages of illiter- 
acy among- native whites 21 years old and over: California, 1.1; 
Connecticut, .9; L»iStrict of Columbia, 1; Idaho, 1.1; Massachu- 
setts, .(i; Minnesota, .7; Montana, .7; Nebraska, 1.1; Nevada. 
.8; North Dakota, .8; Oregon, 1.1; Washington, .5, and Wyom- 
ing, .9. 

The percentage of illiterate native white voters for the United 
States is 5.8. For Indiana it is 4.8. Ohio's percentage is 3.7; Illi- 
nois', 3.G; and Michigan's, 2.2. In this latter comparison it will be 
noted that Indiana gets a little the worst of it. 



Historical Sketch of Indiana. 



The Mound Builders. 

The first hiinmn footprints withiia the bounds of Indiana were 
not made by the Indians. Moreover, it is an error to assume 
that the Western world is newer than the Eastern in point of 
habitation by men. The traces of prehistoric peoples in America 
give evidence of antedating the mythical history of Greece anTl 
Rome, and while the infant race of Egypt and the Nile can 
Doast of a better civilization, it is questionable whether they can 
boast of an earlier. 

The prehistoric people who first trod the pathless, beast- 
haunted forests of Indiana, and here and there upon high ground 
built immense earthen woriis of various forms and designs, are 
known as mound-builders. No satisfacory theory has yet been 
adA^anced as to their origin. Neither has it been determined 
whither they went. Possibly they met with a similar fate to the 
people of Noah's time. The Indians liuew nothing about these 
forerunners of civilization, and the mound-builders themselves 
left nothing that would in the slightest way suggest an explana- 
tion. 

The rude instruments wliicli they left behind indicate that 
they were chiefly interested in waging tribal warfare and in pro- 
curing the mere necessities in the way of food and clothing. 
They had for arms crude bows and arrows, clumsy spears, stone 
axes and knives. For their simple domestic pursuits they pro- 
vided themselves with flint needles, implements of copper, of 
stone, and pieces of pottery. They were a savage, brave, and 
restless people, in their savagery and cruelty very like the Indian 
race, but in their peaceful pursuits more industrious and perse- 
vering. Tlieir mounds in the southern half of Indiana are very 
numerous and extensive. They are of three general classes, and 
in view of tlieir purposes may be designated as "burial mounds," 

(43) 



44 Moore's Hoosier CvcLorEoiA. 

"temple mounds," and "mounds of habitation." Perhaps the 
greater number are to be found in Knox and Sullivan counties. 
Forty large ones and hundreds of smaller ones are located 
around the city of Vincennes. The "mounds of habitation" 
served both as places upon which to build their homes as a 
protection against flood and inundation, and also as fortifications 
against their enemies. 

Indians of Indiana. 

As in the case of the origin of the mound-builders, likewise 
of the origin of the i"ace of Indians, no satisfactorj^ explanation 
can be given. The only authentic history concerning them comes 
from the early explorers and discoverers of America. First were 
the mound-builders, then were the Indians; but the period which 
lapsed between may have been thousands of years. When Co- 
lumbus discovered America, and when the French explorers 
paddled their canoes over the Great Lakes to the present terri- 
torial boundaries of Indiana, they found these sti'ange savage 
people everj'^where in possession. 

Two great confederations existed, the Iroquois in the extreme 
east and northeast, and the Algonquins in the Mississippi Val- 
ley and the west. These confederations were bitter enemies and 
constantly waged an aggressive warfare for supremacy. Of the 
AlgonquiJis in Indiana were the Miamis, which themselves were 
divided up into several smaller tribes (Twightwees, Weas, Piank- 
ashaws, Schockneys, Wyandots, Shawnees, Pottawattamies), 
which occupied different portions of the State and parts of Ohio. 
Just prior to the coming of the French, the Miamis had been 
worsted in a conflict with the Iroquois, and were greatly reduced 
in numbers. This condition perhaps accounts for their willing- 
ness to make the French their friends in the hope of later using 
them as allies. 

The fiercest of the Miami tribes were the Shawnees, who 
occupied Rush and Fayette counties, and the contiguous territory 
as far south as the Ohio River. Tecumseh and his brother, the 
phophet, were of this tribe. The ShaAvnees were always the 
enemies of the English and later of the Americans, when either 



AIoORE'S HoOSIER CYCLOrEDlA. 45 

were in control of the country. They were the allies of the 
French during the Seven Years' War, and fiercely resisted the 
encroachments of the English settlements which were pushed 
across the Alleghanies after the retirement of the French. They 
took an active part against the Americans in the War of Inde- 
pendence, and the Indian War which followed. Under the lead- 
ership of Tecumseh, they joined the standard of the British in 
the War of 1812, and participated in the battle of the Thames, 
where Tecumseh was killed. It was not until ISl'f that the 
great treaty was made which moved them forever from our 
boundaries. The Miamis had all the common Indian traits— per- 
fect woodsmen, himters. warriors, smokers, drinkers, and bru- 
tally savage with it all, yet they were not as lazy as most tribes, 
being wiUing to occupy themselves to some extent in raising 
corn, small fruits and vegetables. Some of their descendents 
chose civilization and I'emain with us until this day. 

First White Explorers in Indiana. 

La Salle was the first white man to set foot on Indiana soil. 
While the records are not wholly reliable and without conflict, 
historians concede this honor to La Salle. In 1G69 this fearless 
adventurer set out from La China, Canada, in search of the 
' ijl^reat River" which was said to promise the long sought west- 
ward passage to China and Japan. 

The only natural highways in this wilderness were the lakes, 
streams and rivers. The passage was by canoes, large enough 
to carry a few men and some provisions, and small enough to be 
borne on the shoulders of men over the portages between the 
headwaters of rivers. His course led him up the St. Lawrence, 
across Lake Ontario and the portage to the source ot the Alle- 
ghany River, down that river, and the full length of the Ohio. 
On his return trip he chose a different route, going by way of 
the Wabash River, crossing the portage to the Maumee, and 
thence home again by way of the lakes. While in a sense La 
Salle took these journeys to satisfy his own adventurous spirit, 
he was acting as an explorer under the French king. He there- 
fore made some maps and published somewhat definite reports 



4G Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

of his findings. These were further supplemented by descrip- 
tions and reports oy other French explorers, such as Marquette, 
Hennepin, and Joliet, avIio were associated with La Salle in 
many of his expeditions. It was upon these explorations and 
discoveries that the French laid claim to the vast territory known 
as the Mississippi Valley. 

Early Settlements. 

La Salle and the other French explorers, traders, and mis- 
sionaries, who frequented this territory, succeeded in making the 
Indians their friends, and established a growing trade in peltries, 
whhout any idea of permanently locating. In 1715 there came 
rumors to the French that the English were prospecting with a 
view to occupying the Indian coujitry. It thus became appar- 
ent that permanent posts, occupied by people holding allegiance 
to the French icing, and flying the French flag, were needed. 
Accordingly the following ones were established as early as 1120: 
Vincennes on the lower Wabash; Ouiatenon (Lafayette) on the 
upper Wabash; and Post Miami (Ft. Wayne) on the Maiimee. 
Meanwhile, Vincennes grew into a straggling village, made up 
of rude log houses built very close together. Concerning this 
village W. H. Smith writes: 

"The Indians gave to the Post a large ti'act of land for the 
use of the settlers. This land was held in common and not sub- 
divided to the people. It was held really to belong to the French 
king, and not to the people. Grants from this tract were given 
from time to time to individual holders by the Governor of 
Vincennes, but the bulk was held in common. The settlers 
remained upon the most friendly terms with the Indians, and 
many of the men took Indian wives. The people were careless, 
indolent and in Ihe main idle. They made no effort to settle 
and improve the surrounding country, but were contented to 
live within the Post, and from it cultivate some portions of the 
outlying land, and when the harvest was over they gave them- 
selves up again to idleness and pleasure, that is, such pleasure 
as could be found in a small settlement so far removed from 
civilization. The only news they received from the outside world 



Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 47 

was by the occasional arrival of a canoe from Lake Erie, or 
from New Orleans. To get enough to eat and drink was seem- 
ingly then* only object in life. The river furnished fish, the 
forests, game, and for their other wants they raised wheat, oats, 
barley, and small quantities of maize. They also cultivated or- 
chards and vineyards, manufacturing the product into wine and 
cider. In religion they were devout Catholics, and their spirit- 
ual wants were attended to by the missionaries. But little at- 
tention was paid to education and but few could X'ead or write. 
This and the other two colonies were planted by France for the 
sole purpose of making good her claim to the country." 

Of the three settlements made, Vincennes may justly claim 
to be the first. 

Changes in Sovereignty. 

The English still looked upon the territory with jealous eye, 
and were ready with the least provocation to trespass upon the 
French claim. This brought about rivalries which quickly ri- 
pened into war between the English and French. First it was a 
war for the fur trade, and finally a struggle for dominion. In 
this struggle the English were victorious, and Canada and the 
territory east of the Mississippi in the year 1760 passed over 
into the hands of the English. 

Prior to this the emissaries of the English had been active 
in inciting the Indians against the French. The latter now re- 
taliated by stirring up the Indians to hostilities against the Eng- 
lish. The numerous plots of the Indians to destroy the English 
garrisons in 17G1 and 1762 were all discovered and outwitted. 
But the great conspiracy of 176.3, formed by Pontiac. was more 
successful. Of this conspiracy Thompson graphically writes: 

■'In the fall of 1762 this great savage began to organize an 
army. He sent emissaries to a large number of Indian tribes 
inhabiting the territory west of the AUeghanies. These messen- 
gers bore each a black wampum and a red tomahawk, signifying 
war, and they were instructed to arouse the tribes to a con- 
certed general onslaught, with a view to capturing all the Eng- 
lish forts and posts. In an amazingly short time, these arrange- 



48 Moore's Hoosiek Cyclopedia. 

ments were ruade and the blow fell. Nearly all of the forts 
were taken. Pontiac himself, at the head of a large force, 
attempted to get possession of Detroit; but his plan failed, and 
for many months he besieged the place. He Avas at last forced 
to quit the siege on account of expending all his ammunition. 
When it was gone he had no base of supplies to draw upon, and 
so was powerless. He withdrew still cherishing his great ambi- 
tion." 

The French had not rallied to his assistance as he had ex- 
pected, and he decided to make peace with the English, which 
was done by a formal treaty and delivery of all forts the latter 
part of the year 17G4, and the settlers were free from Indian 
depredations for the next ten years. 

Probably the peace would not have lasted this long had it 
not been for the death of Pontiac, at the hands of an assassin, in 
1769. There was evidence at the time that he was ambitious to 
form a second conspiracy. Thus closed another chapter in In- 
dian savagery and frontier hardships, and the Indian country 
was yet unpeopled, as the straggling population at Vincehnes, 
Ouiatenon, and Miami, including Detroit, only numbered six hun- 
dred families, now the subjects of the English. 

Capture of Vincennes. 

With the opening scenes of the Revolutionary War came 
another contest for supremacy in the northwest country, this 
time between the Americans and the British. In August 1778 
Post Vincennes was surprised and captured by the Americans 
under Captain Leonard Helm, who had been sent thex'e by Col- 
onel George Rogers Clark from Ft. Kaskaskia, in Illinois. Helm, 
in the following December, was compelled to surrender the Post 
to the British, who in turn, within three months, were again 
driven out by Clark. From that thne until the close of the Revo- 
lution Colonel Clark remained in possession. With the close of 
the Revolutionary War, the settlors began to emigrate into the 
Northwest Territory in great numbers. These attracted by the 
rich, productive soil, came chieflv from Kentucky, Virginia and

the Caroliiias. Thus this region became peopled witli brave, 
hardy, tlirifty Americans, the descendeuts of wliom compose the 
intelli,i;;ent citizenship of Indiana'^ great commonwealth today. 

Organization of Indiana as a State. 

Immediately after the lievolntion, the laws for the North- 
west Territory were arbitrarily made and executed by Col. 
George Rogers Clark, who was stUl in possession. The territory 
then included the present limits of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, 
Illinois and Wisconsin, and as Clark was from Virginia, the terri- 
tory was claimed by that State by right of conquest. However, 
with the adoption of the National Constitution, Virginia was 
induced to cede all her rights and claims to the territory to the 
general government. 

Congress th(-n passed, for the government of the Northwest 
Territory, the Ordinance of 17ST and appointed Gen. Arthur St. 
Clair as Governor, with the seat of government at Mariefta, 
Ohio. The ordinance provided that not more than five States 
should be formed thereof. It prohibited slavery, and declared 
that, "religion, moi'ality and knowledge being necessary to good 
government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and the 
means of education shall forever be encouraged." 

In ISIO the census of Indiana Territory, now reduced to the 
present territorial limits of the State, showed a population of 
24.r)2(t. The census of 181.") gave it a population of ()o,.Si)7, three 
thousand eight hundred ninety-seven more than the ordinance 
required to make it eligible for admission as a State. In Decem- 
ber of the same year the Territorial Legislature addressed a 
memorial to Congress asking admission, Avhich was granted in 
April of the following year (1810). In June, 1810, the Consti- 
tutional Convention met at Corydon. under the old historic elm 
at that place, and framed the organic law under Avhicli the new 
State should operate. Under this law the State was immediately 
organized and tiie various State otticers elected. Jonathan Jen- 
nings was elected as the hrst State Governor, and Corydon was 
made the tirst State capital.

Moore's Hoosieu Cyclopedia. 51 

From this time forward tlie progress of the State along all 
lines was very rapid. The fores's were cleared away to make 
room for frnitfnl fields and homes; swamps were drained, roads 
were bnilt, towns and cities sprang np. and finally came the rail- 
roads and mannfactories. The school system of the State, the 
best ever devisea, was well administered, consequently the 
cause of education flom'ished, and has borne fruit in an enlight- 
ened, self-respecting, progressive and patriotic citizenship. 

The State played a very prominent part in the war for the 
preservation of the Union, from ISIll to 1865. She maiched her 
soldiers to the sanguinary fields in the South by the tens of thou- 
sands, and Oliver P. Morton, the great War Governor, stood close 
to President Lincoln as a friend, advisor and co-worker througli 
all the perilous years of the confiict, and histoi-y now recognizes 
him as one of the eollosal figures of the times. 

The history of Indiana up to tlie present time is such as to 
warrant a just pride in the heart of every loyal citizs. n, while the 
future is i)regnant with opportunities for still greater achieve- 
ments along all lines of material, moi-al .-ind intellectual growth 
and endeavor.

INDIANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 



The Indiana Academy of Science is a voluntary association 
founded in 1885, and maintained for scientltic study and re- 
search, and the diffusion of Icnowledge concerning the various 
departments of science. It is not controlled or supported by the 
State, but the Legislature provides an annual appropriation of 
$600 for publishing the proceedings and papers of the association. 
Fifteen hundred to three thousand copies of each of the reports 
are published, most of which are distributed under the direction 
of the State Librarian to the various libraries of the State, and 
to other institutions, societies or persons applying for them. 
Complete files are kept at the State Library, free of access to the 
public. 

Meetings of the society are held in May and December of 
each year, the December meeting occurring at the State House. 
Indianapolis, and the May meeting at some other town or city, 
subject to selection.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION. 



Every person who has control of a child between the ages of 
seven and fourteen years is compelled by law to send such child 
to school. 

In the enforcement of this law 111 truant officers are em- 
ployed in the State, at an annual salary expense of $22,328. lu 
the school year 1903-4 they brought 22,597 children into school. 
During the same pei'iod the State incurred an expense of $17,837 
for clothing and books for poor children. 



The New Harmony Movement. 



Two remarkable and widely differing experiments in social 
reconstruction constituted tli^; '"New Harmony Movement," and 
they took place at the little town of New Harmony, located in 
Posey County, Indiana, about rtfty miles north of the continence 
of the Wabash and Ohio rivers. 

The flrst of the experiments was by George Rapp. a native 
of Wurtemberg, Germany. He conceived the idea of founding a 
colony, or community, and governing it according to the New 
Testament as he understood and interpreted it. He thought the 
people could be led to live such righteous and holy lives that sin 
would eventually be banished from the world, and Christ would 
come again and dwell among his people. But on account of 
governmental opposition, Kapp left Germany and came to Amer- 
ica to carry out his ideas. He arrived in 1803, and at first es- 
tablished his colony in Pennsylvania, but being dissatisfied there 
came to Indiana, and in the year 1815 purchased 30,000 acres of 
land in Posey County. With his faithful band of followers he 
established New Harmony, and operating on the community 
plan, everything l)eing held in common, and all individuals work- 
ing for the comniou good, thousands of acres of forest lands 
were cleared, and farnung, fruit growing and stock raising were 
carried on on a gigantic scale, and for a time successfully and 
profitably. The fame of New Harmony spread everywhere, but 
so long as human nature remains as it is, such experiments will 
necessarily be short lived. The heyday of prosperity soon passed, 
the zeal of the IJappites for their cherished ideals cOoled; selfish- 
ness and individual ambitions got in their work, and contentions, 
discord and disintegration followed in their natural order and 
sequence.

Moore's Hoopier Cyclopedia. 91 

Many of the queer old houses built by the Rappites still re- 
main. The "front doors" invariably open toward the back of the 
lots, and in the old cemetery, surrounded by a five-foot brick 
Avail, no gravestones or monuments appear. Such things, ac- 
cording to the Rappites. were mere frivolities and vanities, and 
therefore Avrong. They built a great church, in the shape of a 
Greek cross, of which a liondon traveler wrote eighty-six years 
ago: 

"I can scarcely imagine myself to be in the wilds of Indiana, 
on the borders of the Wabash, while passing through its long and 
resounding aisles, and surveying its stately colonnades." 

In 1824 the Rappites sold out to Robert Owen, another 
noted dreamer, avIjo came from Scotland, to carry out his idea of 
unifying capital and labor. He Avas also a communist, but not 
a religionist. He had established and successfully conducted a 
community — a model manufacturing tOAvn, at Lanark, Scotland. 
His idea Avas to substitute co-operation for competition, and to 
reconstruct society upon the communistic plan. To trj^ his 
theories on a larger scale he came to America, and, as stated, 
bought the Ncav Harmony settlement from the Rappites. Owen 
had with him William Maclure, the father of American geology, 
and his experiment attracted a number of other men of such 
eminent talent and learning that, to quote Col. LockAVOod, "New 
Harmony became the greatest scientific center in America, and 
the first impoi'tant scientific outpost in the West. It became the 
headquarters of the United States Geological Survey, with one 
of its students, David Dale OAA^en, in charge; it was the site of 
a museum unexcelled on the continent." 

For jnauy years New Harmony was the Mecca for men of 
science and learning, as well as for the curious and adventurous. 
Its fame Avas world-wide. Robert OAA^en soon retii'ed to Scot- 
land, but left his four sons, Robert Dale OAven, William Owen, 
DaA'id Dale Owen and Richard Oavcu, in charge. All became 
eminent in the affairs of State and Nation. Robert Dale Owen 
served as a member of the Indiana Legislature, and represented 
the State in Congress. He Avas the legislative father of the 



92 SrOOKE'S IIOOSIER CYCLOPEDIA. 

Smithsonian Institution, and a letter he wrote at the critical 
moment is said to have borne great influence in deciding Presi- 
dent Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. He was 
also a writer and lectiu-er of much note. 

It is unnecessary to state that the second New Harmony 
experiment, like the first, also failed, at least so far as the direct 
purposes of its author were concerned. But the influences which 
grew out of it were momentous, and are still alive. We quote a 
few paragraphs from a magazine article contributed by Col. 
George B. Lockwood, who is also author of the best book on the 
New Harmony movement yet published: 

"No undertaking is a failure which leaves mankind better and 
wiser because of it, and judged by this standard the New Har- 
mony venture was a wonderful success. There has not been 
another trial of communistic association so auspiciously under- 
taken, or so tlioroughly carried to a conclusion, as that of Itobert 
Owen at New Harmony. Brook Farm has occupied a larger 
place in literature, but as a serious effort at solving the social 
problems of its time it did not approach New Harmony in im- 
portance. 

"But of more immediate importance to us, e^^pecially as In- 
dianans, is the fact that the deathbed of Robert Owen's 'social 
system' became the birtliplace of several distinct movements 
which have assumed great proportions since the story of the New 
Harmony communisms became a half forgotten chapter in the 
liistory of social experiments. 

"There the doctrine of universal elementary education at 
public expense, without regard to sex or sect, Avas first proclaimed 
in the West, and through the labor of Robert Dale Owen, more 
than any other one man, tliis conception of the State's duty has 
found expression in a common school system that is the glory 
of the republic. 

"Through William Mjiclure, Rol)ert Owen and Joseph Neef, 
Pestalozzi's pupil and autlior of the first American work on the 
science of education, the Pestalozzian system of education, now 
everywliere predominant, was first successfully transplanted to 
the Western world. 



Moore's Hoosiek Cvcloitpia. 93 

"WiHiain Mac-lure's 'manual training sclioor at New Harmony 
was tlie first distinctive trade school and the second industrial 
school in point of time in the United States; it was the first in- 
dustrial school of any type to be made a part of a free public 
school system. 

"The infant school established by Robert Owen at New Har- 
mony, and conducted throughout the lifetime of the experiment, 
was the first kindergarten of any type in the United States, and 
marked the first use of the kindergarten as a part of the public 
school system. 

"It was in the schools at New Harmony that the theory of 
equal educational privileges for the sexes was first put into prac- 
tice. And at New Harmony was the first free public school sys- 
tem in a land in which today the blessings of an education 'free 
as the living waters' (as Robert Dale Owen so earnestly hoped 
it might become), forces itself upon the American child, if need 
be, by due process of law; there was the first real public school 
system west of the Appalachians, the most humane and enlight- 
ened system of school government to be found anywhere, for it 
was not equaled even in the schools of the tender-hearted Pesta- 
lozzi himself; the most enthusiastic and determined advocacy 
and support of 'free, equal and universal schools' that history 
records; the most ambitious and pretentious educational experi- 
ment the world has yet witnessed, and with the exception of 
Pestalozzi's earlier effort, the most courageous and unselfish 
educational experinient which the world has yet witnessed. 

"Through Robert Dale Owen New Harmony impressed upon 
American law the modern conception of tne legal rights of wo- 
men, and in New Harmony was founded by Frances Wright, 
nearly eighty years ago, the first woman's literary club in the 
United States. Through William Maclure New Harmony gave to 
the West a system of mechanics' libraries from which dates the 
beginning of general culture in nearly a hundred and fifty Indi- 
ana communities. 

"Through Josiah Warren New Harmony originated the philos- 
ophy of anarchy, a rebound from communism, and gave to the 
Avorld the perfecting printing press. And it is claimed that in the

system of 'labor notes' inveuted by Josiab Warren at New Har- 
mon j', Avas the germ of the great co-operative societies of Great 
Britain, wliicli constitute tlie most successful labor movement of 
the nineteenth century, lilven the religious latitudinarianism of 
the New Harmony communists, so l)itterly denounced in its own 
day, has served as a leaven of liberality in religious thouglit it- 
self, until the narrow type of religion which the Owenites so 
steadfastly opposed has in large measure disappeared. 

"The lasi of those who lived and labored in New Harmony's 
golden age have long since ceased to dream of an earthly New 
Jerusalem, but the great movements to Avhicli they gave origin 
and direction Avill sweep onward iii an ever widening current"

THE NATIONAL SOLDIERS' HOME AT MARION, IND. 

While the National Soldiers' Home at Marion is not a State 
institution, it is, nevertheless, an object of pride and interest 
to the people of Indiana. The Home was erected, and is main- 
tained by the united States Government for the benefit of ex- 
Union soldiers and sailors who claim its care. Its present popu- 
lation is a little in excess of twenty-three hundred. Similar 
homes are maintained in other states, so that no old soldier who 
finds it necessary to seek the bounty of the Government is ever 
turned away. 

The principal officers in charge of the Home at Marion, with 
their annual salaries, are as follows: 

George W. Steele, Governor; salary, $3,0€0. 

.John Q. Adams, Treasurer; salary, $2,000. 

Harry Miller, Chief Surgeon; salary, $2,400. 

James "NY. Sanderson, Quartermaster; salary, $1,800. 

In addition to the salaries named, all the officers get fur- 
nished homes, or "quarters," free, and their provisions for just 10 
per cent, more than the Government pays. The Governor also re- 
ceives $G00 per year additional for entertaining the National Board 
of Managers, who visit the institution at least once each year, and 
sometimes oftener. The National Board of Managers, as its 
name indicates, is a national body, having control over all the 
national soldiers homes in the country. The officers of the 
homes are appointed by this Board, and hold their places during; 
iiood behavior, or at the pleasure of the Board.

$2,500; Deputy Warden, $1,200; Cleric:, $1,000; Physician, $500.

The treatment of Indiana convicts is humane and Ivindly. 
Liberal reductions are made on sentences for good behavior, and 
when a prisoner is discharged after serving his time, he is given 
a new suit of clothes and $10 in money, and a railroad ticket to 
any point in the State to which he desires to go, provided it is 
no farther from the prison than the point from which he was 
sentenced. If aischarged between the first of November and the 
first of April he is given an overcoat also. 

The Indiana State Prison is for the incarceration of male 
persons convicted by any of the courts of the State of treason, 
or murder in the first or second degree, and of all persons con- 
victed of any felony who at the time of conviction are thirty 
years of age and over. Persons over sixteen and under thirty 
years of age who may be convicted of any felony or crime less 
than ti'eason or murder, are sent to the Reformatory at Jefferson- 
ville to serve whatever sentence may be imposed.

iug and other expenses, but no otlier compensation. The Board 
selects the General Superintendent, and fixes his salary. Tlie 
General Superintendent receives $2,500 per year. The General 
Superintendent selects all other employes. The Assistant Supei'- 
intendent receives $2,000: the Clerk, ,*i;i,800, and the State Agent, 
$1,500. The Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent are 
furnished house and subsistence in addition to their salaries. 

The Indiana Reformatory is used for the incarceration of 
male persons between the ages of sixteen and thirty years, who 
may be convicted of any felony below the grade or treason, or 
murder in the first or second degree. Theoretically the purpose 
of their imprisonment is reform rather than punishment. Under 
the present "indeterminate sentence" law, the court orders that 
the pei'son found guilty of a felony under conditions as ex- 
plained, be confined in the Reformatoiy for a term not less than 
the minimum time prescribed by the statutes as a punishment 
for such offense, and not more than the maximum 'time pre- 
scribed by such statutes therefor. Under the prescribed rules 
of the Reformatory, the prisoner may be discharged after the 
minimum time has been served, or he may be kept for the maxi- 
mum time, or he may oe released on parole. Under parole his 
liberty is forfeited by any acts of misconduct, and he is re- 
turned to the Reformatory to serve his full term. 

The Legislature of 1905 passed a law providing for the es- 
tablishment of a school of industrial training for inmates of the 
Reformatory.

per year each, and no allowance for expenses. The Board selects 
the Superintendent and other officers and employes, and fixes 
their salaries. The Superintendent's salaiy is $1,200. 

The law stipulates that the Board of Managers, the Superin- 
tendent and all other officers and employes shall be women. 

The Industrial School for Girls is a reformatory institution 
to which girls under fifteen years of age may be committed for 
vagrancy, or incorrigible or vicious conduct. 

The Woman's Prison is for the imprisonment, safe custody 
and reformation of women and girls convicted of criminal 
offenses. 

The two institutions ai'e at present maintained in the same 
buildings and under one management. The Legislature of 
1903 passed a law requiring that the Industrial School for Girls 
should be separated from the Woman's Prison, and that build- 
ings separate and widely apart from those now used by the 
Industrial School and Pi'ison be constructed for the use of tne 
former. An appropriation of $150,000' was made, and a com- 
mission appointed to carry out the provisions of the act, but the 
amount appropriated was found inadequate for the purchase of 
land and construction of buildings, and no steps were taken 
toward complying with the provisions of the act. But at the 
session of the Legislature of 1005 the appropriation was in- 
creased to $235,000, and the commission continued, so the work 
of separation will finally be accomplished. The Girls' Indus- 
trial School will then be established on the cottage plan, and will 
have separate control and management from the Womans Prison.

home and board furnished. 

The Indiana Reform School for Boys is maintained to receive 
into its care and guardianship boys between the ages of seven 
and eighteen years, committed to its custody by the courts for 
any of the following reasons: (1) For incorrigible or vicious con- 
duct, rendering control beyond the power of parent or guardian; 
(2) vagrancy, vicious conduct or moral depravity, where the 
parent or guardian is unable or unwilling to exercise control; (3) 
on complaint of township trustee where such child resides, or by 
the mother when the father is dead, or has abandoned his fam- 
ily, or is an habitual drunkard or does not provide sustenance 
and clothing, that such child is destitute of a suitable home and 
of adequate means of obtaining an honest living, or is in danger 
of being brought up to lead an idle or immoral life. 

No commitment is for a shorter period than imtil the boy 
shall attain the age of 21 years. 



NEW BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS. 

In addition to the foregoing charitable, benevolent and cor- 
rectional institutions supported by the State, the Legislature of 
1905 passed laws providing for the establishment of an institu- 
tion for the treatment and care of epileptics, and for an addi- 
tional hospital for the insane.

The average per capita cost of the total number mamtained in 
all the institutions was $167.60, divided as follows: For admin- 
istration, $59.87; for clothing, $6.59; for repairs, $8.63; for sub- 
sistence, $47.40; for oftice, domestic and outdoor departments, 
$45.11. 

The expenses for new buildings and extraordinary repairs 
are not included in amounts and averages in the foregoing table. 
Such expenses for 1904 amounted to $223,940; adding this to the 
cost of maintenance makes a grand total of expense for the 
State's institutions of $1,749,681. But there were $135,658 of re- 
ceipts and earnings, which, being deducted, leaves a net cost to 
the State of $1,614,023. 

In addition to the foregoing, there are 1,591 children in Or- 
phans' Homes who are wards of the State, being under the direct 
charge of the Board of State Charities; 2.832 other children have 
been placed in private families by the Board and are sub.1ect to 
oversight and visitation by the agents of the Board.

TOWNSHIP POOR. 

Ill 1904 the Township Trustees, as overseers of the poor, aided 
40.009 persons to the amount of .$281,899.87. This seems like a 
large number of persons to be helped, and an enormous amount 
of money expended, but it is a great improvement over the first 
few years following the enactment of the poor relief law in 1895. 
In that year the township poor relief and medical aid amounted 
to $630,109, or $348,209 more than in 1904. The number 
of persons aided In 1897 was 82,2.35, as against 4(i,0(i9 m 1904. 
The improvement is due to better administration of the law and 
the growth of the State charitable institutions, which now care 
for a large percentage of the State's defectives and helpless 
wards. And still there Is room for improvement. However, 
5,997 more persons wei-e aided in 1904 than in 1903, and the ex- 
penditure for such aid was $34,154 greater in 1904 than in 1903. 



COUNTY POOR ASYLUMS. 

Each county in the State maintains a poor asylum, and in 
addition Marion County has an insane asylum. 

According to the last official report, it costs the ninety-two 
counties of the State $379,609 annually to maintain these insti- 
tutions. There were in addition $00,016 for extraordinary re- 
pairs and new buildings, making a total cost of $439,095. How- 
ever, there were receipts and earnings of $74,833, leaving a net 
cost of $304,802. 

The total number of inmates in the 93 county asylums of the 
State, according to the last report, was 3,144. Of these, 2,071 
were males and 1,073 females. 



COUNTY JAILS AND CRIMINALITY. 

There were admitted to the county jails of the State in 1004 
a total of 33,810 persons, an increase of 3,550 over the year be- 
fore. Of the total jail admissions in 1904, as shown, 31,552 were 
men and 2,258 were women. 



Mooke's Hoosieb Cyclopedia. 107 

There were 4,115 tramps, for whose incarceration fees and 
board amounting to $7,039.71 were charged, which charges were 
probably illegal, as the right of county sheriffs to house and 
feed tramps, when no charges are placed against them warrant- 
ing arrest, is seriously questioned. 

There were admitted for intoxication 12,267 men and 507 
women, a total of 12,774, at a cost to the counties for fees and 
b'oard of $37,720. 

Over 50 per cent, of the whole number of persons admitted 
to the jails was for vagrancy and intoxication — being 16,889 out 
of 33,810. The expense to the counties in fees and board for 
these 16,889 vagrants and drunkards was $44,789.93. 

A total of 949 persons were found to be in the jails of the 
State at the time of the jail census on October 31, 190->. Of these 
870 were men and 79 women; 269 were there awaiting trial, 605. 
were serving sentences, 49 were there for miscellaneous causes, 
20 were insane persons and 6 were tramps.

J. FRANK HANLY, 
Governor of iudiana. 

J. Frank Hanly, Governor of Indiana, was born April 4tli, 1863, in a 
log cabin, iu Champaign County, Illinois. His father, Elijah Hanly, a 
cooper by trade, was of Scotch-Irish extraction, a native of Hamilton 
County, Ohio, whose ancestors had como at an early date from Ireland.

only, being engaged in the work of a common laborer on various farms 
In order thai he might assist in the support of his parents. In 1879 
he started out alone to Warren County, Indiana, walking most of the 
distance, as he had no money to pay his way. On arriving at Williams- 
port he secured employment sawing wood, and when the spring season 
opened he found employment on the farm. In the winter which fol- 
lowed he taught a six months' term of common school, and saved up 
money enough to take a six weeks' course at the Eastern Illinois Nor- 
mal School, at Danville. He contiiiued to teach school in winter and do 
any nonorable work his hands found to do in the summer. In 1889 he 
was admitted to the Warren County bar, and began the practice of 
law at Williamsport. A year later he was nominated and elected to the 
State Senate, where he at once took front rank as a debator and force- 
ful legislator. In 1894 he was nominated by the Republicans of the 
Ninth District for Congress, and was elected by a majority of more 
than 5,000. But the Legislature of 1S95 gerrymandered him into a new 
congressional district, and he failed of renomination by a half vote. 
In the fall of 1896 he moved from Williamsport to Lafayette, Indiana, 
where he formed a partnership in the practice of law with Senator Will 
R. Wood. In the campaign of 1898 Mr. Hanly's services as a public 
speaker were in great demand and he made a thorough canvass of the 
State. La'^er when the General Assembly met he was a formidable can- 
didate for United States Senator, and came within a few votes of win- 
ning the uomination over Senator Beveridge in the Republican caucus. 
In August, 1903, Mr. Hanly decided to become a candidate for the Re- 
publican nomination for Governor, and entered upon the campaign with 
his usual vigor and earnestness. So great was his popularity that when 
the convencion met on the 29th of April, 19M, it was only a question of 
what ballot would nominate him. The convention stampeded to his 
standard before the close of the first ballot, and his nomination was 
made unanimous. He was elected in November, 1904, by almost 85,000 
majority, the largest ever given a gubernatorial candidate of either 
party in Indiana. He was inaugurated as Governor January 9th, 1905, 
and in his inaugural address he took strong grounds on matters of rail- 
way legislation and public morals. He has shown a determination to 
signalize his administration as one of law enforcement, and his efforts 
are meeting with the hearty approbation of all well-disposeu and law- 
abiding citizens of the State.

Lieutenant-Governor. 

(Sketch prepared by Marshall E. Newhouse.) 

Hugh Th. Miller, sou of Johu G. Miller, Christian minister, and some 
time member of the facultj' of Butler College, Indianapolis, was born 
on the farm of his father and grandfather, near Nineveh, Johnhson 
County, Indiana, March 21, 1867. His mother was Elizabeth Ann Carr, 
of Louisville, Kentucky. Having received his elementry and interme- 
diate education at home, he was graduated (A. B.) at Butler College 
in 1888 (A. M., 1895). Studying later in Paris and Berlin, he became 
Professor of Romance Languages at Butler, resigning in 1899 to become 
assistant cashier of Irwin's Bank, Columbus, Indiana. He is also Sec- 
retary and Tresurer of the Indianapolis, Columbus and Southern Traction 
Company. He was married December 26, 1900, to Nettie Ii-win Sweeney, 
daughter of Z. T. Sweeney, Commissioner of Fisheries and Game, and 
granddaughter of Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus. 

He was elected as a Republican to represent Bartholomew County in 
the State Legislature in 1902, never having held public office before. 
After a lively contest before the Republican State Convention of 1904, 
in which he had some very able and highly popular gentlemen for com- 
petitors, he won the nomination for Lieutenant Governor, and in the 
fall of the same year, he, along with the rest of the ticket, was 
elected by an overwhelming majority. 

As Lieutenant Governor Mr. Miller became presiding officer of the 
State Senate, and in this position during the session of 1905 he made a 
record of which any man might indulge a .lust pride. In addition to 
a formal resolution passed by unanimous vote of the Senate at the time 
of adjournment, expressing the high regards and thanks of the body, 
individual Senators, in public addresses, pronounced many flattering en- 
comiums upon him, declaring thai he had proven himself as able and 
fair a presiding officer as ever wielded the gavel in the Senate of In- 
diana. These compliments and expressions of appreciation came from 
Republican and Democratic members alike.

Daniel E. Storms. Secretary of State of Indiana, was born on a farm 
near Sto(,'kwell, in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, January 30, 1SG6, being 
ttie son of Abner and Pliiletta Storms. He received bis education in the 
common schools, Purdue University, United States Military Academy, 
West Point, and the University of iNIichigan, graduating from the Law 
Department of the latter institution in 1S92 with the degree of LL. K. 
He at once began the practice of law at Lafayette, and soon afterward 
formed a partnership with Judge Robert P. Davidson, one of the ablest 
lawyers in the State. This partnership, which was an extremely pleas- 
ant one, continued three years, at the end of which time Mr. Storms 
formed a partnership, which is still in force with Charles E. Thompson. 
In 1896 he was elected County Attorney of Tippecanoe County, and re- 
tained the position until the first Monday in December, 1902. His" splen- 
did success up to this time, and his elt'ective work locally and through- 
out the State for the party of his choice won for him such wide popu- 
larity that in the Republican convention of 1902 he was nominated 
unanimously for the office of Secretary of State. He was elected by a 
splendid ma.iority and in 1904 was re-elected to serve a second term. 
He has popularized his administration by the painstaking and expedi- 
tious manner in which he has conducted the business of the ofiice. He 
is a hard worker, sticking close to his duties, but always finds time to 
greet friends and patrons of the office cordially. He has also made his- 
mark as a public speaker, and his services are constantly in demand in 
all parts of the State. His family consists of his wife and one son, 
Donald Campbrll, and one daughter, LUlian Gladys.

WARREN BIGLER, 
Auditor of State. 

Warren Bigler, Auditor of State of Indiana, was born in Shelby 
County, Indiana, in 1S51, being the sou of Lewis and Melissa Branden- 
burg Bigler. Mr. Bigler's educational opportunities were limited mainly 
to the common schools of Shelby County. He attended the National 
Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, a few months. But such oppor- 
tunities as he did enjoy he improved to the utmost. Working by himself 
at home without any assistance whatever, he mastered much of the sub- 
ject of higher mathematics. He owes the liberal success he has won in 
life to close application to the duties in hand, whether study over books 
in his school days, or attending to the details of business after reach- 
ing manhood. He early earned the reputation for thorough honesty and 
fairness in all things that has been his chief help in the battle for suc- 
cess that he has had to wage alone from boyhood. He is now known as 
one of Indiana's most solid and reliable citizens. For more than a 
fourth of a century Wabash, Indiana, has been his home. Mr. Bigler 
is a stanch Republican, and for many years has been identified with the 
local and State organizations of his party. He has served as secretary 
and chairman at different times of the county committee, and was dis- 
trict chairman from 1898 to 1902. lie also served terms as secretary and 
vice chairman of the State committee and was a member of the exec- 
utive and finance committees. Notwithstanding his long and valual)le

party sei'vice, he was never a candidate for office. Until he was ap- 
pointed State Auditor on September 15, 1905, by Governor Hanly, to fill 
out the unexpired term of David E. Sherrick, resigned, he had never 
occupied public positions other than school trustee and trustee of the 
Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane. The former position he held 
eighteen years continuously, and the latter from 1902 to 1905. Mr. Bigler 
is an attorney by profession, but is also interested in the mortgage loan 
and real estate business— i. e., the buying and selling of real estate. lie 
compiled a complete set of abstracts for his county, that has long been 
a standard local work. 

That the affairs of the Auditor's office will be well administered 
while in Mr. Bigler's charge goes without saying.

FASSETT A. COTTON. 
^ Superiutendent of Public Instruction. 

Fassett A. Cotton, ttie present Superintendent of Public Instruction 
of Indiana, is stUl a young man. However, lie has made good use of the 
years that he has lived. Nature was generous in physical and spiritual 
endowments, and the preparation that he has made and the experience 
that he has had, have all contributed to fit him for a useful career. 
Mr. Cotton is a man of good presence. His frank and easy manner, his 
open and blunt expression, his sympathetic nature, always point to a 
manhood that is sincere, and impress one with his genuineness. He is a 
man who has always worked hard and who believes in doing his work 
well. To those who know him it is evident that his years of largest 
usefulness have just begun. 

He has had experience in almost every phase of school work. Bom 
in the country he had the advantage of a strong rural and township 
school training. His liking for school work took him to the State 
Normal at Terre Haute. Later he was graduated from Butler College 
and from the University of Chicago, he had much experience as a 
teacher in the ranks. He served several terms as County Superintendent, 
was Deputy State Superintendent for six years, and has been twice 
elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the last time leading 
his ticket in the election. Mr. Cotton believes in education and believes 
that it should be practical in the broadest and best sense. He believes 
that the whole experience of boys and girls should be used in making 
them manly men and womanly women. His one aim in his present 
work is to make the schools of Indiana just as good as they can be made. 
The educational interests of the State never made more rapid strides to 
the front than during the administration of Fassett A. Cotton as Super- 
intendent of Public Instruction.

where he devoted his time to diligent study, graduating iu 1884 with the 
degree of K. A. Following his graduation he taught one year in the 
Franklin High School, and then entered his chosen profession of journal- 
ism. He was successively connected with the following well known 
publications: The Franklin Republican, The Indianapolis Journal and 
the Logansport Daily Journal. In 1889, ho purchased the Franklin

GEORGE W. SELF, 
Reporter of the Supreme Court. 

The subject of this sketch resides at Cory don, Harrison County, and 
that has been his home for forty years. In early life he was thrown 
upon his own efforts and resources, and is thereiore essentially a self- 
made man. As a boy he ^vas always ready and willing to do whatever 
his hands found to do. He worked in many capacities to procure means 
with which to educate hiuiself. Before he arrived at majority age he 
enlisted in the war for the Union and served his country faithfully and 
well. He was promoted from a private to a tirst lieutenantcy. After 
leaving the army he read law with the late Judge Slaughter, of Cory- 
don, in his time one of the brightest jurists of Southern Indiana. Soon 
after Mr. Self reached twenty-one years of age he was admitted to the 
practice of law and established himself at Corydon, where, through the 
generosity of kind friends he soon built up for himself a profitable 
practice which he was enjoying when he was elected to the position he 
now holds. In 1S68 he founded the Corydon Republican, which he still 
owns. Prior to that time Republican newspapers had been unable to 
maintain themselves at Corydon. Though his party has always been 
in a minority in the section of the State where Mr. S. resides he has 
always been an active, earnest and consistent Republican. He has 
served his party in all capacities from a precinct commiteeman to 
district cliairman. He held the latter position for eight years. 

In 1894, without his solicitation or desire, his party nominated him as 
a canuidate for Joint Senator for the district composed of Harrison, 



Mookk's Hoosiek Cyclopkdia. 143 

Crawford and Orange Counties. Though the district had hitherto been 
Democratic by majorities ranging from 600 to 90i), Mr. S. was elected 
by the large majority of 901 He served through the legislative ses- 
sions of 1S95 and 1S97. In 1904 lie was nominated liy his party as a candi- 
date for Reporter of the Supreme Court over three able and worthy 
opponents. Wiih the balance of his ticket he was triumphantly elected. 
As some evidence of the esteem in which Mr. S. is held at home, it 
may be remarked that though his county has previously been Democratic 
he carried it by a plurality of 117, his plurality be'ng more than one 
hundred greater in the couuty than that received by President Roosevelt.

JOSEPH H. STUBBS, 
Chief of Buretui of Statistics. 

He was born on a farm near Spicelanci, Indiana, May 23, 1S55. He 
attended tlie public scliools taid Spieeland Academj% but at tlie age of 
13 entered liis fatlier's store at Spieeland, preferring this to work on 
the farm. He became thoroughly in love with business affairs, and 
wlien he reached his majority went into business for himself. Soon 
after, he went on the road as a traveling salesman and for twenty-five 
years- faithfully followed that vocation. This gave him a wide acquaint- 
ance, and being warm-hearted and genial, he made these acquaintances 
his personal friends. 

He never asked for any other political otiice than the one he now 
holds, but in the race for this one he made an enviable record as a 
vote-getter. In the Kepublican State Convention he was known as the 
"traveling men's cardidate," and these men rallied around his cause 
most enthusiastically. He was nominated by the largest vote of the 
day and on the first ballot. In the election, he was third on the State 
ticket in the plurality received, but his majority, 61,032, was greater 
by ten thousand than the next highest. This is the best evidence of his 
personal following in the State. 

In the administration of his office every effort has been put forth to 
maiie it more efficient than formerly. He has begun the preparation 
of more complete statistics of manufactures, railroads, banks, etc., 
which when completed will make a much better showing for our State. 

Mr. Stubbs is devoting his entire time to this work with the same 
fidelity that characterized him in his private affairs, and this means a 
successful administration. He will be a candidate for renomination for 
a second term before the next Republican State Convention.

W. S. BLATCHLEY, 

State Geologist. 

No man ever filled the ofHce of State Geologist of Indiana with more 
signal ability than has been displayed by W. S. Blatchley, the present 
incumbent. Although a trained scientist, he has not overlooked the 
practical purpose of his office, viz., to advertise to the world the great 
mineral resources of the State. As a result of his efforts' along this 
line, the public was first made aware of the extent and commercial 
value of the deposits of clays, building stones, coal, cement materials, 
and other mineral products of the State, and industries requiring invest- 
ments of millions of dollars have followed as a natural consequence. 
They have brought employment to thousands oi citizens, and wealth to 
many, besides bringing Indiana well to the front in the matter of 
mineral resources. 

Mr. Blatchley was born at North Madison, Connecticut, October 6, 
1869. Coming to Indiana while yet a child, he received the foundation of 
his education in the common schools of Putnam County. He graduated 
from the Indiana State University in 1887, and received the Master's 
degree in 1801. He made a specialty of scientific subjects. He was an 
assistant on the Arkansas Geological Survey in 1889-'90, and was a mem- 
ber of Scovell's scientific expedition to Mexico in 1891. He was with 
the U. S. Fish Commission in 1892-'3. Ever active in study and research, 
his life has boon a busy one. He was elected State Geologist in 1S94, 
and has been continued in office ever since. He is a fluent writer, and is 
the author of numerous scientific papers, and two books, entitled re- 
spectively, "Gleanings from Nature," and "A Nature Wooing." He was 
also editor and part author of volumes XX to XXIX, inclusive, of the 
Annual Reports of the Department of Geologj' and Natural Resources 
of Indiana.

AMOS W. BUTLER, 
Secretary Board of State Charities. 

Amos W. Butler, Secretary of the Board of State Charities, occu- 
pies high rank among ludiaua's best liuowu scientists. He was born 
at Brool<ville, Indiana, October 1, 1860, and eaucated in the public 
schools, at Hanover College, and Indiana University, graduating from 
the latter institution. He took special interest in the study of zoology, 
and ornithology. His report on "The Birds of Indiana" is a recognized 
authority. He was the prime mover in securing the enactment of the 
splendid laws now in force protecting birds and their nests and eggs. 
He is also well posted upon the antiquities of the State, and has con- 
tributed many valuable note-"-, and articles to this department of science. 
He has traveled extensively and made vast collections of specimens in 
the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and has contributed to many of 
the leading scientific publications and magazines. He is a member of 
several leading American scientific societies, and foreign associations. 
It was largely through his influence, energy and zeal that the Indiana 
Academy of Science was organized, and he served the society succes- 
sively as Secretary, Vice-president and President. He has spent years in 
sociologicil study, devoting special attention to the subject of charities 
and corrections. 

Mr. Butler is an unselfish laborer for any cause in which he believes, 
and has been more zealous for the welfare and nonor of the State than

for his own advancement. As Secretary of the Board of State Charities 
he has made a most enviable record for devotion to duty, and sympa- 
thetic zeai for the betterment and reform of the State's unfortunate 
and criminal classes. His publications and reports are looked forward 
to and eagerly read by a large and increasing number of our citizens, 
and their influence for good could not well be overestimated. Mr. 
Butler was elected Secretary of the Board of State Charities in 1897 
and has served continuously since.

WILLIAM E. HENRY, 
State Librarian. 

William E. Heury, State Librarian, was bom iu Fayette County, 
Indiana, In wliicli county his grandparents had settled as early as 1820 
and 1825, thus beins; among the earliest settlers of that section of the 
State. The paternal grandfather was one of the most prominent early 
farmers, and the maternal grandfather, Dr. Amos Chapman, was among 
the earliest physicians of that county. Mr. Henry is the son of John 
Henry, and Elioiabeth Chapman Henry. At an early age he removed to 
Howard County with his parents, both of whom have since passed away. 

Mr. Henry received such education as was offered by district schools 
in the newest county in the State, never having attended school more 
than three months in any one year until he was twenty-one years of age, 
at which time he began teaching a country school. He afterward grad- 
uated from the Indiana State Normal School with the class of 1885, 
then served five j-ears as principal of the Peru High School, then enter-

married Sylvia M. Allen, of St. Louis, Mo. He has one daughter, Eliza- 
beth, born February 17. 1897. 

Mr. Henry is especially well qualified for the duties of the important 
position he holds. The State Library was never more efficiently admin- 
istered than it has been while under his charge. Methodical, painstaking 
and industrious in his habits, and cordial in his dealings with the public, 
he has won the universal esteem and confidence of the people of the 
State.

Union B. Hunt, chairman of the Railroad Commission of Indiana, was 
born September 2, 1864, in R.nndolph County, Indiana. When but five 
years of age he was taken by his parents to Vermillion County, Illi- 
nois, but they returned to the old home in Randolph County in 1877, 
and there the subject of our sketch has since maintained his residence. 
He possessed the natural thirst for an education which has spurred so 
many American youths onward, first in the struggle for knowledge, and 
later to climb the heights of usefulness, professionally, in business pur- 
suits, or in the service of State or Nation. To provide ways and means 
for his education, and fit himself for the battle of life, young Hunt 
worlced on the farm, in a tile factory, clerked in a store, and per- 
formed many other kinds* of honest labor. He made ii a rule to leave 
no task uncompleted, or purpose unaccomplished. 

He was admitted to the Randolph County bar in 1899, and entered 
successfully into the practice of the law. He held partnerships suc- 
cessively with John R. Wright, now deceased; C. L. and T. W. Hutch- 
ens, under the firm name of Hutchens, Hunt and Hutchens, and with 
Hon. E. L. Wats'on, father of tne writer. He had a brief newspaper ex- 
perience, being two years editor and part owner of the Winchester 
Herald. In 1898 Mr. Hunt was nominated by tne Republican party of 



150 Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

Indiana for the ofRce of Secretary of State. His competitors for the 
honor were Hon. C. F. Coffin, of Indianapolis;, and John C Chaney, of 
Sullivan, now a member of Congress from the Second Congressional 
District. He was elected in the following November, and was renomi- 
nated and re-elected for a second term, in 1900. As Secretary of State 
he made an excellent record. The office was never more ably admin- 
istered, or filled by a man more universally popular with the people 
of the State. During his term he secured the passage of a law that puts 
many thousands of dollars into the treasury of the State each year. 
Mr. Hunt also made for himself, during the two campaigns mentioned 
and subsequent ones, the reputation of being one of the most effective 
campaigner.? in the State. He is an orator of great force and ability, 
and the services of no public speaker in the State are more in demand. 

When Governor Hanly was inaugurated in January, 1905, Mr. Hunt 
became his private secretary, assisting the Governor with his arduous 
duties during the session of the Legislature. On the first day of May 
the Governor appointed him a member of the new Railroad Commission, 
and when the Commission organized, Mr. Hunt was elected chairman. 
Both these positions came unsolicited, being voluntarily tendered by the 
Governor. ' 

Mr. Hunt's great personal popularity and his ability for making 
friends are further attested by the fact that, in 1897, he was elected 
Grand Chancellor of the order of Knights of Pythias for the grand do- 
main of Indiana. He served until October, 1898, and is now one of the 
five Supreme Representatives from this State. He represented Indiana, 
with Ills colleagues, in the conventions" of the Supreme Lodge in Chi- 
cago, San Francisco and Louisville respectively. He is also a member 
of the Masonic fraternity and of the Methodist Episcopal church. 

Mr. Hunt was married in 1891 to Miss Mary M. Hinshaw, and the 
union is blessed by a oright little girl, aged twelve years, named Ethel.

CHARLES V. MCADAMS, 
Member of Railroad Commission. 



Charles V. McAdams, a member of the Railroad Commission of Indi- 
ana, was born in Warren County, Indiana, February 15, 1858. He is of 
Irish parentage, being able to trace his" ancestry back to the county of 
Armaugh, Ireland, M'here his great grandfather was born in 1774. The 
family emigrated to America in 1802. Valentine Best McAdams, the 
father of our subject, was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, in 1813. 
In early manhood he emigrated to Warren County, Indiana, where he 
married Evaline Mears in 1842. Of their family of nine children, Charles 
V. was one. He was left to face the battles of life alone at the tender 
age of thirteen years by the death of his parents. Not only that, the 
resjionsibilit.v of assisting to provide for the rest of an almost helpless 
family also fell to his lot. He worked for wages on the farm, and per- 
formed other kinds of honest toil for several years, winning such success 
that by and by he concluded he could afford to educate himself. He 
attended country school in the winter time, and later attended two 
terms at Green Hill Seminary, a United Brethren institution. Following 
this he taught several terms of district school, clerking in stores during 
vacations. In 18T9 he went to Williamsport and began reading law in the 
office of Hon. James M. Rabb. In time a partnership with Mr. Rabb 
was tendered and accepted, and continued until 1882, when the latter 
was elected judge of the Circuit Court. From this time forward Mr. 



152 .MooiiE's HoosiER Cyclopedia. 

McAdams assumed the business of the firm, and conducted it success- 
fully until he was appointed liy Governor Hanly in March, 1905, without 
request or solicitation on Mr. McAdams' part, to membership on the 
newly established liailroad Commission of Indiana. 

Judge McAdams has carved out a success in life by industry, honesty 
and zeal, and his splendid abilities and strict integrity are universally 
recognized. He is an enthusiastic Republican, and has long assisted to 
fight the battles of his party in the county and State, but was never a 
candidate for oflice. He is a member of the Masonic and K. of P. fra- 
ternities. He has been twice married, his first wife, Ida May Swarts, 
dying in 188/, leaving one child. He was married to his second wife, 
Mary B. Hentz, in 1891, and this union lias been blessed with the birth 
of two children.

JUDGE WILLIAM J. WOOD, 
Member of Railroad Couiiulssion. 



Judge William J. Wood, the Democratic member of the Railroad 
Commission, was born in b lorence, Alabama, about tifty years ago. His 
people and be himself were distinguished in Alabama; his father having 
been a brigadier-general and his uncle a colonel in the Confederate 
Army, and a near relative of his mother's, Judge Stone, was for many 
years Chief Justice of Alabama. His grandfather, Col. Alexander Wood, 
who came to Alabama early in the last century, was the first Mayor of 
Florence, and his grandfather's grandfatlier, Leighton Wood, Jr., was 
Solicitor-General of Virginia in 17S0. In the Richmond Times of May 22, 
1792, is published a remarkable letter from Leighton Wood, Jr., to Gov. 
ernor Randolph protesting against giving a bond of office on the grounds, 
"1st," said Mr. Wood, "If an oath of office is not sufficient to guard the 
public from chicanery in their servants, 1 should lay but little depend- 
ence in a bond," and, "2nd, so far as integrity in matters oi this kind 
is necessary, I will dare to trust myself." This was the high standard 
of the times to which it is desirable that officials of this day should 
return. 

Judge Wood is a college man, was Prosecuting Attorney, State Sen- 
ator, and Judge of the Probate Court, and State Tax Commissioner of 
Alabama. He became a citizen of Indiana, and in this State has been 
the Manager of tlie Evansville Traffic Bureau, Secretary of the Evans- 



154 Moore's IIoosier Cyclopedia. 

ville Business Association, and President of tlie Business Men's Associa- 
tion, in all of whicli positions he greatly contributed to the upbuilding 
of Kvansville. The people of that city and surrounding towns and cities 
without reference to parties, unanimouslj'^ endorsed him to Governor 
Hanly for Railroad Commissioner. Judge Wood became connected with 
railroads in 1SS2; organized, constructed and was General Manager of 
the E., S. & N. Railroad, was Assistant Attorney at Evansville, and 
finally Third Vice Pre.sident of the L. & N. Railroad Company, moving 
to Nashville, Tonn., to hold this position. He is trustworthy and popu- 
lar, and well equipped in every way for the important place he holds on 
the first Railroad Commission of Indiana.

J. N. HURTY, M. D., Phar. D., 
Secretary State Board of Health. 

J. N. Hurty, M. D., Phar. D., State Health Officer, and Secretary 
of the State Board of Health, was boru at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1852, of 
German parentage. His father was a pioneer teacher in Indiana, having 
been Superintendent of Schools at Kichmoud in 1866, at Liberty from 
1858 to 1862, and later at North Madison, Rising Sun, and Lawrenceburg. 

Dr. J. N. Hurty, the subject of this sketch, studied medicine, phar- 
macy and chemistry, at Philadelphia from 1872 to 1875. Selecting his life 
work early, there was no liesitanc.v. 

Dr. Hurty has been a continuous resident of Indianapolis since 1875. 
During thfit time he served two years as a member of the faculty of 
Purdue University. He served as a member of the Indianapolis City 
Board of Health, and was City Health Officer for nine years. He 
became State Health Officer, and Secretary of the State Board of 
Health in 1887, and has held the position continuously since, rendering 
the people of the State most valuable service. He has earned and enjoys 
fully the utmost confidence of our citizenship. No subject affecting the 
public health is too insignificant to incite his interest and investigaton, 
and no point in the State is too remote for his personal visitation when 
duty seems to call. 

Dr. Hurty is also entitled to much credit for recent legislation to 
prevent food adulterations, and lo safeguard the public health in various 
ways. 

Dr. Hurty is a member of the American Medical Society, the Indiana 
State Medical Society, The American Public Health Association, and the 
American Chemical Society. He is also professor of hygiene in the Indi-

papers on medical, chemical and hygienic subjects, and is the author of 
"Field Water Inspection," and "School Lessons in Physiology and 
Hygiene."

DANIEL H. MCABEE, 
State Factory Inspector. 

Daniel H. McAbee, State Factory Inspector, was born near Boli- 
var, Westmorelan-l County, Pennsylvania, on tlie line of the old Penn- 
sylvania Canal. The packet and old section boats of that day were 
as familiar as the flyer and trolley are today. The boatman's horn 
for open lock and cry of "low bridge" were the sounds that greeted 
one's ears while on a journey. Now, it is "all aboard," or "The third 
and last call for dinner, fourth car to the rear." Mr. McAbee was a 
driver on one of the last boats that went through the long aqueduct 
which cros.?ed the Allegheny River into Pittsburg. 

In 1861, before he was yet sixteen, Mr. McAbee enlisted in Company 
G, 76tli I'ennsylvania Volunteers (Keystone Zouaves). After serving to 
January 1, 1662, and taking an honorable part in six or eight engage- 
ments, he re-eniisted and served until the close of the war. He was 
wounded in the right arm August 16, ISG-f, and rejoined his regiment 
as it was embarking on ils first attack on Fort Fisher. In all he was 
in about twenty-two general engagements, among them being Cold 
Harbor, Petersburg, first and second charges on Forts Wagner and 
Fisher, and skirmishes too numerous to mention. He was discharged 
as First Sergeaui, July 26, 18b5 — was home one year, and was still too 
young to vote for honest John Woode for Congress. He graduated from 
Duff's Commercial College at Pittsburg. He was afterward employed 
for three years as fireman on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and it was 
during this time that he v,as married to Mary L. Richards, of the Smoky

City, to which union there were born three sons and three daughters. 
Harvey R. McAbee, a well known K. of P., and member of the Sons 
of Veterans, who died in Butte, Montana, October 16, 1902, was the 
oldest. Dr. McAbee, of Connersville; Mrs. Elmer F. Pittenger, DeSoto, 
Ind., and Will D. McAbee, a Shortridge student, are the ouly three 
of the children now living. 

In 1869 Mr. McAbee came to Indiana, and was employed in various 
manufacturing institutions in the State until he was offered the posi- 
tion of Factory inspector by Governor James A. Mount, in 1S97, the 
same year the office was created by the General Assembly. In 1899 
he was reappointed by Governor Mount without solicitation, and in 
1903 he received another appointment from the hands of Governor W. 
T. Durbin. 

The Department of Inspection, more generally known as the Factory 
Inspector's office, stands well up with the corresponding department 
of other States. Great credit is due Chief Inspector McAbee and his 
corps of deputies for their efficient work. For a display of blanks and 
methods of work the Department was granted a gold medal by the 
Universal Exposition at Paris in 1900, and again by the Louisiana Pur- 
chase Exposition in 1904. These awards, carrying with them such high 
recognition of the excellence of the Department, have naturally been 
very pleasing to Mr. McAbee. The State has every reason to be proud 
of the Department of Inspection, and the work it is accomplishing.

OTWAY A. BAKER, 

Ciistodiiiu nf Public liuildiiiys. 

Otway A. Baker, Custodian of Public Buildings, was born at Trinity 
Springs, Martin County, Indiana, August 7, 1867. The foundation of 
his education was laid in tiie common scliools, while in his youth and 
young manhood he cultivated a healthy brain and muscles, along with 
habits of honest toil and self-reliance, by work upon the farm. Taking 
a lively interest in all questions that affected State or Nation, nothing 
was more natural than that he should drift into the game of politics, 
and his neighbors, recognizing his abilties and aptitude, lent him all 
necessary encouragement. Hence we find him a member of the Repub- 
lican county central committee as early as 1888, and he has been con- 
nected with the organization in an official capacity ever since. He 
served the committee for a wliile as treasurer, and is now chairman. 

In 1898 Mr. Baker was elected State Representative from the joint 
district composed of Martin and Orange Counties, carrying tlie Demo- 
cratic county of Martin by two hundred and sixteen majority. He was 
the first Republican to be elected from the district. As a member of 
the sixty-first General Assembly he was chairman of the Reformatory 
Committee that brought about the appropriation tor the cell house at 
the Southern Reformatory, which is among the best and most modern 
in the United States. 

Mr. Baker is also an active worker in the Lincoln League, having 
been organizer for the Second Congressional District for two terms. 
He is a charter member of K. of P. Lodge No. 221, of Shoals, is a mem- 
ber of the M. E. Church, and an active worker in the Epworth League, 
having se'ved two terms as treasurer for the Vincennes District. He is 
a member of the Marion Club at Indianapolis. 

Mr. Baker was appointed Custodian of Public Buildings by Governor 
Hanly April 15, 1905.

SAMUEL CTSHUTT, 
Chief Engineer of State House. 



Samuel C. Shutt, Chief Engineer of the State House, holds a posi- 
tion of large responsibilities, and that he has performed his duties 
efficiently and satisfactorily is attested by the fact that he has held 
the place continuously since 1897, and under appointment of three differ- 
ent Governors, viz.. Mount, Durbin and Hanly. He possesses all the 
qualifications of thorough training, watchfulness, caution, and attentive- 
ness to details, necessary for the proper care and operation of the 
machinery of the State House, and the safety of the great building, and 
those having business in it. He is good humored, affable and genial, and 
has lots 01 friends. 

Mr. ShutL was born on a farm near /anesville, Ohio, in 1857. When 
he was 17 years of age his father died and left him to begin the battle 
of life on his own responsibilities. He secured a position in Blandy's 
machine shop, at Zanesville, where he worked until 21 years of age. 
In 1882 he came to Indianapolis, and in 1895 was appointed assistant 
engineer at the Court House. This position he held until April 1, 1897, 
when Governor Mount appointed him Chief Engineer of the State House, 
in which position he has served continuously since. 

Mr. Shutt is a Republican, and has always been active in the inter- 
ests of his party, in State, county and city.

Secretary Gemmer acquired his education in the common and higli 
schools of Warren County, and when he had reached young manhood, 
embarlied in the mercantile business. His habits of industry, reputa- 
tion for rigid lionesty, and his friendly, pleasing manner in dealing with 
patrons, made success sure and easy. He was for a long time manager 
of a large dry goods store in which Goveruor Hauly was interested. In 
1899 Mr. Gemmer was elected cashier of the Williamsport State Bank, 
a position Mliich he tilled successfully and satisfactorily until he was 
invited, in April, 1905, to accept the highly responsible position of pri- 
vate secretary to the Governor. 

The local esteem and confidence in which Mr. Gemmer Is held, is ai,- 
tested by the fact that he served for a number of years as a member 
of the school board of Williamsport, was City Clerk and Treasurer for 
three terms. Township Trustee four years, and chairman of the War- 
ren County Republican Central Committee during the last two cam-

HARRY H. SLOUGH, 
Clerk Bureiiu of Public Priutiug and Statiouery. 

The life of a "printer" may not always be eventful, but there is 
never a time when it is not "strenuous." Always exacting, the business 
is now a technical trade, a science, and while it has its difficulties and 
its hardships, its rewards are not to be despised, especially in the matter 
of mental training and discipline. The man who is not an artist, a 
mechanic, a scholar and a philosopher, is no printer. 

Harry H. Slough, the subject of this sketch, would naturally be too 
modest to admit all these qualities, 'but the writer, also a quasi printer, 
and for the nonce his biographer, insists that he is a printer, and a 
good one, with all the term implies. 

Mr. Slough was born at Macon City, Mo., November 2, 1867, his 
parents being Henry H. and Mary J. Stone Slough. They moved to Iowa 
when Harry was but four years old, and from that State the father 
enlisted in the Union Army. He was seriously injured at the battle of 
Vicksburg, and his health was never regained. Tne wife and mother 
died when young Slough was fourteen years of age, and the home was 
broken up. From that time on our subject was thrown upon his own 
resources. Drifting to the great West, he learned the printing trade in 
Iowa. From there he went to ivansas, being then about nineteen years 
old. At that time the counties were just being organized, and new 
towns founded, and about the first thing to be done in either case was 
to establish a newspaper and printing ofHce. Mr. Slough assisted in so

many sucli cases that he thiuks he uup.icked aud set up more priutiug 
outfits than any other man in Kansas. In 1887 he retui-ned from Kansas, 
and spent four years in Toledo, uhio. He then came to Indianapolis, 
\vh(?re he lias remained ever since, being identified most of the time with 
the printing business. Two years, however, he was field agent for the 
U. S. Census Department, gathering and compiling statistics of different 
kinds. He liad been with the Indianapolis Star about a year when 
appointed Clerk of the Bureau of Printing and Stationery. He is a hard 
worker, highly competent, genial and accommodating, and is making a 
splendid record.

FRANK I. GRUBBS, 
Deputy Secretary of State. 

Frank I. Grubbs, Deputy Secretary of State, was born at New Castle, 
Indiana, May 19, 1858, being tiie son of Thomas M. and Caroline F. Hud- 
elson Grubbs. His father was First Lieutenant of the 57th Regiment 
Indiana Infantry in tlae late Civil War, and his life was among the 
almost countless sacrifices for the Union, he having contracted a fatal 
illness while in the service, and died in 1864. 

B''rank I. Grubbs, the subject of this sketch, entered a printing office 
as an apprentice at the age of thirteen years. He proved an apt student 
in the printing business and resolved to make it his life work. He was 
not onlj- enthusiastic but ambitious, and after just five years in the 
Banner office, at Knightstowu, Indiana, he established the Knights- 
town Hei-ald, a newspaper of his own. But the field was already 
overcrowded with such enterprises, and the Herald ceased to exist after 
a precarious life of ten months. Following this Mr. Grubbs conducted 
a job office for awhile, and later, in partnership with John C. Moore, 
established the Knightstown Shield. In 1884 he sold his business and 
went to Indianapolis, were he received his first experience in metropoli- 
tan newspaper work by accepting employment on the Indianapolis 
Times. He was the first city editor of the Indianapolis Sun. He also 
served for a time as news editor and business manager fm- the Indianap- 
olis branch of the American Press Association. Following this he spent 
five years as managing editor of the Lafayette Courier, and it was while

thus engaged that he was appointed Deputy Secretary of State under 
Hon. Daniel E. Storms, without having applied for the place. He en- 
tered upon his new and highly responsilile duties January 17, 1903, and 
is entitled to a sliare oi credit for the fact that under the present ad- 
ministration tlie business of the Secretary of State's office was never 
more expeditiously performed. A record was made in the publication of 
the Acts of the Legislatures of 1903 and 1905, the Governor being enabled 
to issue his proclamation April 23 in 1903, and April 15 in 1905. Previ- 
ously the proclamations were issued a month later on an average. 

Mr. Grubbs prepared and successfully used his influence with the 
Legislature of 1905 to secure the passage of a bill permitting a change 
from the marginal side notes form used in publishing the laws to para- 
graph sub-headings, a most desirable change. 

Mr. Grubbs was married October 29, 1884, to Miss Kate Butler, of 
Knightstown.

State Board of Tax Commis.sioners, was born March 3, 1857, in Wayne 
County, Indiana, where he lived until after his marriage in 18T9, when 
he removed to his present residence in Washington, Daviess County, In- 
diana. 

He is a lawyer by profession, having studied law with James and 
Joseph M. Brown, of New Castle. He is a successful attorney, always 
enjoying a good practice, and standing high at the bar of his county 
and the State. 

Mr. Billheimer has always taken an active interest in Republican pol- 
itics of the State. He has been cnairman of the committee of his county, 
and helped to change Daviess from a strong Democratic to a strong 
Republican county. He was an alternate delegate to the Republican 
National Convention in 1888, was a member of the State committee in 
18&2, 1902 and 1904, and is a member at the present time. He was Con- 
sul of the United States to Zanzibar, and supervisor of the census of his 
district, having received two commissions from President McKinley. 

Notwithstanding the many years he has worked in politics, he was 
never a candidate for an elective office. 

Mr. Billheimer is one of the best known of the present "denizens" of 
the State House. He has always performed his duties proficiently and 
is courteous and attentive. The great personal popularity he enjoys is 
richly deserved.

CHARLES B. RILEY, 
fSecrulary Tiulinna Railroad Commission. 

Chas. B. Kiley, Secri'ta ry of tlie Kailroad Commissiou of Indiana, was 
reared in Deeatnr County, Indiana. Like so many other ambitious 
young men he early formed a purpose to enter the profession of the 
law, and devoted about three years to study with the firm of C. & 
J. K. Bwing, at Greensburg. But an attractive opportunity for engag- 
ing in the grain Ijusincss caused him to abandon the law and transfer 
his residence to Rushville, which is still his home and has been con- 
tinuously with the exception of a few years spent in Kansas and Colo- 
rado, and twenty-two months in the United States Government service 
sixteen of which wore in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. 

In the grain and general shJiping inisiuess Mr. Kiley won a splendid 
success and on account of his experience along these lines and his high 
qualifications for the position otherwise, lie was selected in January, 
1904, as Secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers' Association, and di- 
rected to inaugurate a campaign for the procurement, if possible, of 
dome legislation for tlie protection of tlie shipping interests of the 
State, and the correction of certain abuses from which shippers had 
been suffering at the hands of the transportation companies. As a re- 
sult of hi^ efforts many individual shippers and some thirty commercial 
organizations of ihe State, witli many thousands of memliers', were in- 
terested in the movement v hich finally resulted in the enactment by the 
General Assembly of 1905 of the "Newhouse Railroad Commission Law"

by practically a unanimous vote ot both Senate and House. The present 
Railroad Commission came into existence pursuant to the provisions of 
this measure. 

Mr. Riley was selected by the Commission as its Secretary, and the 
choice was recognized by the shippers all over the State as a well- 
earned compliment to him and was fully appreciated by them. 

l\Ir. Riley's ('apacity for hard work, his practical knowledge and ex- 
perience as a business man and shipper, as well as his fair and con- 
servative views as to tlie rights of both the carrier and shipper are a 
guarantee of faithful and efiicient service as Secretary of the Commis- 
sion.

Solomou H. Esarey, Assistant Reporter of the Supreme Court, was 
born in Perry County, Indiana, May 17, 1S66. He is of Scotch-Welsh 
descent, being the son of John C. and Barbara [Ewing] Esarey. 

Mr. Esarey remained upon the farm until he was about eighteen 
years of age, assisting his father during the summer, and attending the 
common schools in the winter time. He later entered Central Normal 
College at Danville, and graduated from the classical course in that

one year in the high school at Cannelton. Meanwhile he had read law 
as time and opportunity afforded, and in partnership with Mr. E. F. 
Barker, of Cannelton, began practicing in 1892, enjoying a highly satis- 
factory success. But desiring to perfect himself for the work of his 
chosen profession he entered Boston University for a two years' course 
in law in IfOO. Prom 1902 to 1905 he resumed the practice in Cannelton, 
during which time he was connected with many very important cases of 
litigation in the Supreme Court in addition to his work in the local 
courts. In January, 1905, he was appointed Assistant Reporter of the 
Supreme Court under Hon. George W. Self. Although his work here 
is of an important and responsible character, Mr. Esarey's friends do 
not doubt for a moment that he will measure up to the full require- 
ments of his responsibilties and duties. 

Mr. Esarey was married to Emma L. Clark, February 8, 1893.

DAVID M. GEETING, 
Deputy Chief Statistician. 



David M. Geoting, Chief Deputy iu the Bureau of Statistics, was 
Imiu and reared on a farm in Ohio. In 18(18 he came to Indiana where 
he l)cgan leaching. He completed the course in Farmer's College, Ohio, 
in 1873. In 1879 he v.'as elected County Superintendent of Schools of Da- 
viess County, Indiana, serving four years. Ho then accepted a position 
in the New All>any schools, resigning that to accept the oflice of Deputy 
State Superintendent of Public Instruction, March 15, 1887. He served 
as such olHcer for four years. He was then chosen Superintendent of 
Schools at Madison, which position he held till elected State Superin- 
tendent in November, 1894. In this office he made a notable record. His 
tirst work was the preparation of a State Course of Study, covering the 
first eight years of school work. At the completion of this course pupils 
were graduated into the high schools. These township commencements 
gave r.n impetus to education never before experienced in Indiana, and 
that influence still remains. During his term of four years in this office 
he attended more than four hundred of these commencements and urged 
the establishment of township high schools. He stands distinctly as the 
originator of the toAvnship high school idea in Indiana. No other State 
Superintendent can l.iy claim to more beneficial legislation than that se- 
cured by hiui during the Legislatures of 1897 and 1899.

LYCURGUS P. MCCORMACK, 
Member Indiana Labor Commission. 

As a nn mber of tlie Indiana Labor Commission, Lycurgus P. Me- 
Cormack is one of tlie State's official peacemaliers. There is no doubt 
but that the work of the Commission has been very fruitful in encour- 
aging and promoting cordial relations between labor and capital. When 
the Commission first came into existence, its time was occupied almost 
wholly in efforts to settle strikes; now its time is devoted to preventing 
strikes— a very healthful change. Mr. McCormack takes a keen interest 
in the work, and both sides to any pending controversy are always 
sure of a fair and sympathetic hearing at his hands. The Commission 
consists of two members, the law requiring that one be an employer of 
labor, and the other an employe for wages, Mr. McCormack was given 
his place on tlie Board as an employe, having been appointed by Gov- 
ernor Mount in 1897, and reappointed regularly since. 

Mr. McCormack was born at Danville, in Hendricics County, Indiana, 
January 17, 1846, being the son of Hezekiah L. and Lucinda Beaty Mc- 
Cormack. He was educated in the Danville Academy, and at Asbury 
(now Do Pauw) University, graduating in the latter institution in 1S73. 
But before this be had learned the printing business, having finished 
an apprenticeship at the old Cincinnati Gazette office. Yielding readily 
to the fascination of the art, he followed the life of a printer and 
proofreader continuously until the time of his appointment on the Labor 
Commission, excepting a short while he was employed as a railroad 
solicitor in the South. He worked in various cities in this and other 
States. He studied law while at Asbury University, and was admitted 
to the bar at Greencastle and at Indianapolis, but never practiced the 
profession. He has lived in Indianapolis for the last thirty years, and 
is rhe owner of valuable city property, and of a flue stock farm in 
Hamilton County, in which he takes great priae. Mr. McCormack is 
unmarried.

Z. T. SWEENEY, 
Commissionei' of Fisheries and Gaine. 



Z. T. Sweeney, Commissioner of Fislieries and Game, was liorn in 
Liberty, Kentucky, February 10, 1849, being tlie youngest of tlie four 
sons of Rev. G. E. Sweeney, a minister noted for liis great eloquence 
and zeal in tlie cause of the Christian religion. All four of his sons, 
upon reaching manhood, also entered the ministry, winning honorable 
distinction therein. Z. T. Sweeney, the subject of this slcetch, held his 
first charge at Paris, Illinois. He removed later to Columbus, Indiana, 
where he still resides. He was pastor of the Christian Church at Co- 
lumbus for twenty-seven years, during which time the congregation grew 
from a membership of about two hundred to over twelve hundred. Mr. 
Sweeney is an evangelist of great power, and his services in this capacity 
have long been in great demand. He has also won wide renown as a lec- 
turer, and has appeared on the public platform in almost every portion 
of our country. He is a man of splendid educational attainments, and 
possesses literary talents of a high order. He is a member of the Vic- 
toria Institute, London; Institute of Christian Philosophy, New York, and 
the National Geographical Society, Washington, D. C. He has been 
president of the Indiana Christian Sunday School Association, was chan- 
cellor of Butler University, and servea as consul-general to Turkey. He

is author of a book entitled "Under Ten Flags," whicli lias had a very 
large sale. Mr. Sweeney is noted for his earnestness of purpose and 
his decisiveness in carrying out his plans. He believes the world will 
get out of the pathway of the man who knows where he is going. He 
was appointed Commissioner of Fisheries and Game by Governor Mount 
in 1897, reappointed by Governor Mount in 1899, and appointed for a third 
term by Governor Uurbin in 1903. His services have given the highest 
possible satisfaction, and the tish and game laws fif the State were never 
more thoroughly and intelligentl.v enforced than under his administra- 
tion. Mr. Sweeney was married in 1875 to Miss Linnie Irwin, and his 
family now consists of his wife and two clilldren, the oldest, Jeannette, 
being the wife of Lieutenant-Governor Hugh Th. Miller. The youngest, 
Elsie, is attending school in Indianapolis. His only son, .Joseph I., died 
in August, 1900.

WILLIAM H. FREEMAN, 

State Forester. 

William H. Freeman, Secretarj- of the State Board of Forestry, and 
ex officio State Forester, was born ou a farm in Wabash County, Indi- 
ana, September 11, 1863. His childliood, youth and young manhood, until 
he was twenty-three years of age, were spent upon the farm. He expe- 
rienced all the toil and hardships of the profession to which he was 
born, but diank in the delights or the free and open-air life of the 
rural dweller. His love and admiration for the fields and the forests, 
the streams and landscapes, furnished an inspiration, all unconsciously 
at that time, however, for what seems to be his appointed work. Noth- 
ing could have led more naturally to the study and practice of the 
science of forestry, and the State is now reaping the benefits of his 
knowledge of, and devotion to, the subject. 

Mr. Freeman's opportunities' for an education were at first very 
meager, but at the age of twenty-three he left the farm and devoted 
himself to diligent study. Completing the common school course, he 
entered the Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute, at 
Valparaiso, where he graduated in both the scientific and business 
departments. Later he graduated from the Indiana State Normal School, 
at Terre Haute, after a four years' course. Following this he taught 
two years in the district schools, and then served four years as principal 
of the high school at Urbana, Indiana, and three years as principal of 
the Columbia School at Anderson. 

On May 18, 1901, he was appointed Secretary of the State Board of 
Forestry, by Governor Winfield T. Durbin, a position which he still 
holds, and for which he has demonstrated his splendid fitness by intelli- 
gent direction, and incessant labor, study, and reseyirch. He has infused 
new life into the long neglected subject of forestry in Indiana, and his 
work is certain to bear stiil more valuable fruits in the future.

self in Delphi, at tlie same time serving in the City Council as chairman 
of the finance and water committees during the construction of the city 
waterworks, which today is one of the few water plants owned and 
operated by any city that is a good investment for the taxpayer. In 1S95 
Mr. Whittaker was appointed Chief Clerk of the Indiana State Prison, 
holding the position for six and a half years, during which time he 
inaugurated a system of accounting for State institutions that attracted 
attention beyond the borders of his own State.

in the politics of the State, having served as chairman of the committee 
in Carroll County in 1S94, and as secretary of the State committee in 1902 
and 1903. In .July, 1903, Mr. Whittaker was appointed General Superintend-

EUGENE E. YORK, 
Superintendent Indiana Boys' School, I'laiufleld. 

Eugene E. York, the present head of our State's institution for re- 
claiming her wayward boys— the Indiana I'.oys' School, at Plainfield— has 
been prominent in educational circles for a number of years. Born in 
Lawrence, Kansas, in 1866, he came to Indiana at the age of two years 
with his parents, who settled on the National Road two miles west ot 
I'lainfield, within sight and sound of the institution of which he was 
some thirty years later to become Superintendent. 

After completing- his course in the common schools, he entered De- 
Tauw University Normal. At the close of his tirst year in the Normal 
he accepted the principalship of a school in the Hawaiian Islands, which 
position he held for fifteen months, returning home to gratify the wish 
of his parents. He taught in the public schools of Hendricks County 
for several years, and on Marcli 15, 1893, entered the employ of the In- 
diana Reform Scliool for Boys, now the Indiana Boys' School. 

By his faithfulness to duty and his seeming fitness for the work, he 
rose from one department of the work to another, till in November, 1S96, 
his efliciency was recognized and rewarded Ijy the appointment to the 
position of clerk of the institution. In March, 1901, because of his thor- 
ough familiarity with the work in all of its departments, he was selected 
by the Board of Control as Superintendent lo till the vacancy caused 



Mooee's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 181 

by the resignation of Mr. T. ,T. Charlton, and by the faithful and consci- 
entious discharge of the duties devolving upon him as such, he has proven 
the wisdom of the board's action. 

Since his appointment to the superinteudency he has been a close 
student of sociology and criminology, and has been closely aiflliated 
with the charitable work of the State and Nation, having actively par- 
ticipated in all the State and National conferences of charities and cor- 
rection, as M'ell as other organizations of the kind. 

The knowledge and experience thus gained have been incorporated 
into his efforts at the institution, resulting in the adoption of many re- 
forms in the care and discipline of the inmates, thereby maintaining the 
high plane of efficiency that has characterized this worthy institution 
these many years.

ALBERT E. CARROLL, 

SuperlutemUMii ludiauu Sclidol fcir Fi-cble-lMindcd Yoiith, Fort Wayne. 

AUjei-t Emery Carrull, SnporiiitcudciU of tlii' Indiana School for 
Feeble-Miuded Youth, was born at North Vernon, Indiana, Noveml>er 9. 
1869, being the son of George and Louisa Carroll. He was educated at 
the Repert private school at Somerset, Ky., and in the public schools 
at Indianapolis, Indiana. 

His characteristics of thorougluiess. progressiveness and unflagging 
energy, coupled with frankness of disposition and sturdy honesty, have 
won Mr. Carroll his success. As superintendent of the School for Feeble- 
Minded Youth he has proven his splendid abilities and entire fitness for 
the position; the affairs of the institution were never better iidniinistered 
than while under his charge. He was appointed acting superintendent 
August 31, 1903, to succeed Alexander Johnson, resigned, and on May 5, 
1904, was regularly appointed Superintendent for a period of three years. 

The institution over which Mr. Carroll presides is one of the most 
praiseworthy the State has established. Its mission is to care for that 
type of defectives known as the feeble-minded and idiotic who, when 
left to themselves, become a menace to society and ;i burden upon their 
families or to the pulilic. Here they are given the rudiments of an edu- 
cation and taught, if possible, some useful trade, to tit them for helpful 
lives and self-support. There are now over four hundred children at- 
tending the school, and about the same numlter who perform duties of 
various kinds about the buildings and grounds. Two miles north of the 
main institution is a farm colony, where 185 boys are housed. 

In politics Mr. Carroll is a stanch Democrat. He is a member of 
the Baptist church, is a Uoyal Arch and Scottish Rite Mason and an Odd 
Fellow.

Secretary State Board of Agriculture.

fug, Secretary of the Stale Board of Agriculture. He has his office on 
the first floor of the State House, where he is always on duty, and 
where friends of the groat industrial cause he represents are always 
welcome. The great personal popularity he enjoys has been earned by 
his kindliness of disposition, and atteutiveuess to the wants of those

portant one, and no man could perform its duties more satisfactorily 
than Mr. Downing has done.

WILLIAM H. O'BRIEIM. 
Chairman Democratic State Central Committee. 

William H. O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic State Central Com- 
mittee, is a banker by profession, and resides at Lawrenceburg. He was 
born in that thriving city August 22, 1S55, the son of Cornelius O'Brien, 
a lawj^er, and native of Killienny County, Ireland, and Harriett Jane 
Hunter, born in Lawrenceburg. He was educated in the schools of his 
native town, and went through the sophomore year at DePauw 
University. 

Quiet of disposition, but thoughtful, conscientious and ever considerate 
of the rights of others, Mr. O'Brien represents the very best type of 
citizenship of the State. The confidence and esteem in which he is held 
by his close neiglibors and fellow-citizens is attested by the fact that 
he has been elected Mayor of Lawrenceburg no fewer than five times, 
serving in all thirteen years. 

In the fall of 1902 Mr. O'Brien was elected State Senator to repre- 
sent the joint district composed of Dearborn, FraukTiu and Ohio counties. 
He served with great credit to himself, and with entire satisfaction to 
his constituency in the General Assemblies of 1903 and 1905. 

Mr. O'Brien has been a lifelong Democrat, and a faithful worker 
for the success of his party. He was elected chairman of the State 
Central Committee Januarj' 8, 1904, and served through the disastrous 
campaign which resulted in his party's defeat in the fall. But this was 
a calamity — from the Democratic standpoint— that no man could avert. 
His work met with the entire approval of his party associates, even if 
a different outcome would have suited them better. 

Mr. O'Brien was married to Miss Harriet Hunter, a native of Mexico. 
Missouri, on May 9, 1882.

FRANCIS T. ROOTS. 



Both ill the matter of material prosperity, and for her fair renown 
among the cities of the State, Connersville, Indiana, owes much to the 
higli abilities, sterling character, loyalty and success, of a single family. 

In the early days of Connersville"s history, it became the residence 
of Alanson Roots, a man of character, purpose and industry, who set 
about the task of making a s'uccess of life without blusier or ostenta- 
tion. He was succeeded by Philander H. Roots, his son, who w-as a 
scholarly and accomplished gentleman, a public-spirited citizen, and a 
business man of very superior talents. He was a manufacturer of 
woolen goods', an inventor and a banker. He was a charter member of 
the First National Bank at Conuersville, and was its President from 
1872 to 1879. He was also one of the charter members of the Counersville 
Hydraulic Company, serving as its President from 1865 to 1870. He was 
one of the founders of the Second Presbyterian Church, serving the 
organization as trustee and elder till his death, which occurred in 1879. 
He left a very liberal fortune as an evidence of his success in business. 

Francis T., the son of Philander H. Roots, was' born in Conuersville, 
Indiana, July 17, 1857, and represents the third generation of the family 
in Conuersville. His portrait accompanies this sketch. He inherited 
both wealth and an honored family name, and to his great credit it can 
be said hs has safeguarded and added additional accumulations to the 
one, and preserved inviolate the other. He has proven himself a man 
of breadth and talent, and his influence has not only impressed itself 
upon city and county, but has been felt in the affairs of the State. 
His education began in the city schools of Conuersville, and was com- 
pleted in the Chickei-ing Institute at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he won 



188 Mooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

numerous honors, and was also the valedictorian of his j-ear. He at 
first prepared himself for practice of the law, but owing to the death 
of his father found it necessary to embark in active business life. 
Herein he has won a splendid success, and has proven his' breadth and 
versatility by achievements along other lines, notably politics, at the 
same time. At the age of twenty-one he was elected to the highly 
responsibile position of President of the First National Bank, a position 
which he filled with complete success. About the same time he was 
elected Secretary and Treasurer of the P. H. & F. M. Roots Co., and a 
little later became President of the Connersville Hydraulic Co. In addi- 
tion to these enterprises, in which lie has large holdings, he also holds 
important interests in the Connersville Bnggj' Co., the Connersville Fur- 
niture Co., the Natural Gas Co., the A. E. Barrows Insurance Co., the 
Triple Sign Co. and the Farmers and Merchants Trust Co., he being 
President and one of the principal founders of this latter institution, 
which, though but four years old, is one of the leading financial con- 
cerns of the city. 

Mr. Roots has served twice as Vice-President of tne Indiana State 
Board of Commerce, and was chairman of the committee that framed 
the call for the first monetary convention in Indianapolis. He was an 
alternate delegate to the convention at Minneapolis in 1902, when Gen. 
Harri.son was nominated for president, and a delegate to the Chicago 
convention in 1!)04 when Roosevelt and Fairbanks were nominated. He 
was elected a Kepresentative to the State Legislature in 1896 from the 
counties of Fayette and Henry, and re-elected in 1S9S from Fayette and 
Wayne. He served in the Assemblies of 1897 and 1899, and during that 
time had the unprecedented honor of nominating two United States 
Senators, viz., Fairbanks and Beveridge. While in the Legislature he 
originated and secured the passage of many valuable measures, among 
them being the famous anti-junketing law which has saved the State 
many thousands of dollars, and has been copied by other States. He 
served as a member of Governor Durbin's military staff. 

Mr. Roots' fame as an orator has long since o'erspread the bounds 
of his own State, and he has frequently been urged by his friends to 
try. for high political honors. From a standpoint of unselfish devotion 
to the principles of the Republican party, and long and valuable service, 
both in party counsel and on the stump, he deserves highly, but his large 
and varied business interests have stood in the way of his entering into 
active competition for such honors. He has been urged in turn to make 
the race for Lieutenant-Governor, for Go\ernor, and for Congress. 

Mr. Roots is justly regarded as being one of the ablest financiers in 
the State, and he represents the best type of solid and safe business 
man. He is broad and liberal in his views, and has aided with his time 
and liis money every public enterprise and worthy object in his city 
and community. He was one of the leading spirits in the establishment 
of the Fayette County Free Fair Association, and has served as its Pres- 
ident from the first. He is likewise President of the Connersville Man- 
ufacturers' Club. 

Mr. Roots was married in 1880 to Miss Sallie Heilman, daughter of 
Congressman Wm. Heilman, of the Evansville district. They have one 
son, Clarence S., now a rising young attorney, also located at Conners- 
ville.

JONCE MONYHAN. 



Jonce Monylian was boru in Saltillo, in Wasbington County, Indiana, 
August 1, 1856. When four years of age his father moved to Leipsic, 
in Orange County, Indiana, and engaged in general merchandising. Jonce 
attended the public schools of his township until he became far enough 
advanced to enter Blue River Academy, which became hfs alma mater, 
as he attended that academy two years. lie then engaged in business 
with his father, until the latter, wishing to retire from the active labors 
of a merchaut, sold his interest in the store to Jonce, who conducted a 
profitable business until the year 1895. 

Mr. Monyhan was married to Miss Belle Miller of Indianapolis, .Tune 
28, 1882, and they lived a happy life together until August 10, 1904, when 
death claimed Mrs. Monyhan. Two sons, Blish and Henry, survive the 
mother. The sudden death of his father in 1895 caused the shadows to 
fall dark and gloomy over Mr. Monyhan's life, and the old home and 
successful business lost their attractions, and the opportunity presenting 
itself, he disposed of all his interests at Leipsic and moved to Orleans. 

In 1896 Mr. Monyhan was honored with the Republican nomination for 
the State Legislature from the districts composed of Orange and Craw- 
ford counties, and was elected by a splendid majority. He served with 
great credit to himself during the session of 1897. 

Upon his return home and to the duties of a priavte citizen, Mr. 
Monyhan and his associates founded the Citizens' Banli of Orleans, which 
splendid institution speaks for itself. He was elected president of the

JOHN P. BROWN, 
Secretary-'l'reasiirer of tlio Iiiti'riiatioual Society of Arboriculture. 

Jolin P. Brown, residing at Connersville, Indiana, enjoys a national, 
in fact, an international reputation as an authority on arboriculture. For 
forty years lie has devoted his time to a study of the forestry question 
in all its phases, including- effects upon climate, rainfall and soil of mod- 
ern methods of commercial deforestation, and the ultimate effects upon 
the people, and upon states and nations of the same destructive process. 
He is among those who early foresaw the effects upon manufacturing 
and other industries of the wanton waste of our natural forests, which 
a thousand years of human effort could not replace. But th'ese lessons 
were easily learned. The question of reafforestation, and within a period 
to benefit during their lifetime those who promote it, furnished the great 
problem, for human selfishness tends to disregard the interests or even 
rights of posterity. It takes a philanthropist to plant a forest that can 
benefit only the second or third generation after his death. Hence the 
special effort made by Mr. Brown to find a species of forest tree that 
would be commercially valuable, and of sufficiently rapid growth to 
mature and yield a profit within the lifetime of the planter. This he 
found in the Catalpa speciosa, a native Indiana tree. Through lectures, 
magazine articles and personal correspondence he has induced individuals, 
corporations, railroad companies and states to plant millions of these 
trees, devoting hundreds of thousands of acres of land to their cultiva- 
tion. This, of course, is but a brancli of his forestry worlv, which has 
made his name familiar in almost every laud. On every phase of the 



192 Moore's Hoosiek CYCLorEDiA. 

work lie Is acknowledged as au authority, and snch are the demands npon 
his time that for several years he has traveled on an average of a thou- 
sand miles weekly, or fifty thousand miles per year, in the interests of 
the business. He organized the International Society of Arboriculture 
in 1896, the membership at the first lieiug twenty. It has since increased 
to 3,500, every State of the Union, Mexico, Canada, all European countries, 
Japan, Korea, South Africa and the South American States being repre- 
sented. Mr. Brown is Secretary and Treasurer of the Society. He is 
also editor of Arboriculture, the official organ of the society, which he 
established in 1902. It is a highly influeutial magazine, now in its fourth 
volume. He is also a life member of the Forestry Society of Prance, 
and corresponds for several foreign journals. 

Mr. Brown was born .January 19, 1842, at liising Sun, Indiana. His 
father, Elbridge Gerry F>rown, was a pioneer steamboat captain on west- 
ern rivers. Our subject attended common schools, and afterward spent 
a year in Hanover College. He became a civil engineer, and continued 
his studies in the field, gradually developing his qualifications as a for- 
estry engineer. He saw service in the Civil War, being a member of 
the Sixteenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He is a Kepub- 
licau in politics. Prior to the organization of the present Forestry Bu- 
reau, he was employed for a time in the Washington Department of 
Agiiculture, in forestry work. He afterward spent some time in the 
Interior Department, inspecting surveys in the land office. 

Mr. Brown drafted and secured the passage in the Indiana Legisla- 
ti're of the Forestry Law of 1899. in the face of great opposition. The 
nieat.sure proved a most valuable one. Much of his time is now employed 
as a contracting forestry engineer. 

Mr. Brown was married March 11, 1868, to Mary E. Stephens of Bald- 
win, Kansas. His family consists of his wife and ten children.

CHARLESiE. SHIVELEY, 
Supreme Cbaucellor of the Order of Knights of Pythias. 

lion. Charles E. Shiveley was born on a farm near Eaton, Ohio, July 
8, 1853. At the age of eight years his parents removed to Miami County, 
Indiana. In 1868 he was placed in a Presbyterian boarding school at 
Wabash, where he remained for two years. In 1870 he removed with his 
parents to Cambridge City, Indiana. He attended college at Hanover, 
finishing his junior year in 1S74, and left that institution with high 
honors. From Hanover College he began his law course at Cambridge 
City, and in 1875 was admitted to the Wayne County bar. He was ap- 
pointed Deputy Prosecuting Attorney by Hon. D. W. Comstock, now a 
member of the Appellate Court of Indiana. In ISSO Mr. Shiveley was 
elected Prosecuting Attorney and took up his residence in the city of 
Kichmond, where he has since resided. In 1882 he was re-elected Prose- 
cutor for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. In 1884 he retired from that 
office with honor to himself and his constituents. He then devoted him- 
self earnestly to the practice of his profession and with such a measure 
of success that he soon became known as one of the foremost lawyers 
of Eastern Indiana. 

In 1894 he was elected Senator from Wayne County and held that 
office one term. As a member of the Indiana State Senate he was rec- 
ognized as one of the leaders. During his first session he was chairman 
of the "steering committee," and at his second session in 1897 was elected 
president pro tempore of the Senate. Mr. Shiveley showed much skill 

(13)

as a parliamentarian and a ready and forceful debater. After retiring 
from the Senate, Governor Mount appointed liim a member of the Board 
of Managers of the Indiana Reformatory, which position he held for five 
years, a part of which time he was president of the board. In 1900 Mr. 
Shiveley was prominently mentioned by the press of the State as a prob- 
able candidate for Governor, out on account of business reasons he de- 
clined to make the race. 

In 1902, at San Francisco, he was elected supreme vice-chancellor 
of the order of Knights of Pythias, and in August, 1904, at Louisville, 
Kentucky, he was elected supreme chancellor, which position he now 
occupies. Both of these elections came to Mr. Shiveley without oppo- 
sition. The Knights of Pythias now number about 650,000 men. As chief 
executive of this great organization Mr. Shiveley has shown much exec- 
utive ability, and the order under his administration has attained the 
greatest growth and development in its history.

JAMESrP. GOODRICH, 
Chairman of the Republican State Committee. 

James P. Goodrich, whose name has become familiar throughout the 
State on account of his leadership of one of the great political parties 
during two hard-fought campaigns, was born at Winchester, Randolph 
County, February 18, 1864, and being convinced that fate had made a 
good choice of residence for him, has maintained his home there ever 
since. He began his education in the high school at Winchester and 
after completing the work there entered DePauw University in 1883 and 
remained there two years. After reading law in the office of Hon. Enos 
L. Watson, of Winchester, for two years, he entered the active prac- 
tice of his profession, which he has followed with marked success for 
seventeen years. He has also enjoyed and fetill enjoys, extensive and 
important business connections, being President of the People's Loan 
and Trust Co. of Winchester; holding interests in the Randolph County 
Bank and other banking institutions of the county, and is one of the 
trustees of Wabash College. 

Mr. Goodrich has never held or sought public office. The highest 
distinction in this line, of which he is able to boast, is a membership 
on the School Board of Winchester for the past fourteen years. How- 
ever his splendid abilities have not lacked recognition at the hands of 
the political party of his choice. He was elected Republican State 
committeeman from his district in 1898 and 1900, and in the fall of 1901 
he was elected chairman of the State committee to fill out the un 



19G Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

expired term of Charles S. Henley, resigned. In January, 1902, he was 
elected for a full term, and in 1904 was re-elected. Under his leadership 
his party was victorious in the State campaign of 1902, and at the 
State and National election of 1904 all records were broken, the Repub- 
lican plurality climbing within a few notches of the hundred thousand 
mark. While the sovereign people decide elections in this country, a 
great deal depends, nevertheless, upon the intelligent and fair presenta- 
tion of issues, and tactful management and direction of the campaign. 
In his qualities as a leader Mr. Goodrich has set the mark high. He 
is modest and unassuming in manner, but his frankness and evident 
honesty of purpose impress themselves at once upon all with whom he 
comes in contact. But his political achievements are only a continua- 
tion of the story of his success in business* and professional life.

JOHN W. KERN. 

John W. Kprii deserves to be classed among Indiana's most distin- 
guished sons. While membership in the minority party has made it im- 
possible for him to attain the hign political honors for which his ad- 
miring and ever enthusiastic friends have pushed him forvs'ard during 
recent years, he has nevertheless made his impress upon the affairs of 
the State. An orator of marked ability, a deep thinker and logical rea- 
soner, he finds it no difficulty to sway the public thought on questions 
of political or governmental interest or debate. No partisan adherent of 
either political organization in the State enjoys a greater personal pop- 
ularity among his following. 

John Worth Kern was born at the little village of Alto, in Howard 
County, Indiana, December 20, 1S49, a son of Dr. .Jacob H. and Nancy 
Liggett Kern. The father was a pioneer emigrant from Virginia, while 
the mother was a native of Ohio. In 1854, while John W. was but five 
years of age, his parents removed with him to Warren County, Iowa. 
Father and son returned in 1864, the faithful wife and mother having 
died in their far western home. After the return to Indiana, in order to 
attend the Indiana Normal School at Kokomo, he rode back and forth 
from his home each day on horseback, the distance being about five 
miles. lie earlj^ cherished the ambition to become a public speaker, and 
it is told of him that upon his long and lonely rides he often rehearsed 
speeches to his faithful horse, making the woods ring with his oratory. 
Beginning at sixteen years of age he taught two terms of school, then 
entered the university at Ann Arbor, Michigan, graduating in the law 
in 1869. Returning to Kokomo, he immediately began the practice of 
his profession. When barely twentj^-one years of age he was nominated 
by the Democrats of Howard county for the State Legislature. The county 



l'J8 Mooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

was normally Republican by over a thousand, and Kokomo city was also 
heavily Republican, but so effective was young Kern's canvass, and so 
popular did he prove himself to be, that he carried the city and made 
such inroads upon the majority of the dominant party in the county as 
to give his adversaries a thorough scare. He held the office of City 
Attorney twelve .years under Republican administrations. In 1S84 he was 
elected on the Democratic ticket to the office of reporter of the Supreme 
Court, and served his term of four years with the highest possible effi- 
ciency. Removing to Indianapolis at the beginning of his term, he has 
since made that city his home. 

In 1S92 Mr. Kern was elected to the State Senate to represent Marion 
County, and served in that hign position with distinction. He was City 
Attorney of Indianapolis under Mayor Taggart from October, 1897, to 
October, 1901. 

In 1900 Mr. Ki'rn \\as made the Democratic nominee for Governor of 
Indiana, and he made a brilliant campaign, but the tide of battle was 
against Democracy, and ho lost to his Republican opponent. Col. W. T. 
Durl)in. Again in 1904 Mr. Kern found himself the choice of his party 
for the high office of Governor, and although he had not sought the 
nomination, he took the field with all the splendid ardor of his nature. 
A more remarkable campaign was never waged in the State, but in spite 
of all efforts the result was the most disastrous that ever overtook the 
Democratic part.v, and Mr. Kern went down in defeat with the rest of 
the ticket. But the battle was lost on national issues, as is proven by the 
fa(;t that Mr. Kern ran far ahead of the vote on the national ticket. The 
majority against Parker for President was almost ten thousand greater 
tliaii that against Kern for Governor. There is practically no doubt but 
thai Mr. Kern could have had the Democratic nomination for Vice-Presi- 
dent in 1904 had he not restrained his friends from presenting his candi- 
dac5' before the St. Louis convention because he did not want to stand in 
the way of Thomas Taggart, who sought and finally won the chairman- 
ship of the national conimitlee. 

Mr. Kern meets defeats and disappointments with cheerfulness and 
good humor, and counts it no sacrifice to stand aside to help a friend. 
Mr. Kern has been twice married, his first wife dying in October, 1884. 
His second marriage was to Miss Araminta Cooper, daughter of Dr. Wil- 
liam Cooper, of Kokomo, in December, 1885. He takes great pride in his 
three children. The eldest. Miss .Julia, is a daughter of his first marriage. 
The other two are boys, John W., .Jr.. born in 1900, and William Cooper 
Kern, born in 1903.

WARREN G. SAYRE. 

Warreu Grover Sayre has beeu a promineut figure in tlie govern- 
mental affairs of Indiana for more than a quarter of a century. A 
practical and accomplished lawyer, an unerring judge of human nature, 
a close student of current events and social and governmental tenden- 
cies, a speaker and debater of superior talent and readiness, he never 
fails to make his impress in forum or committee, in open campaign, or 
in personal encounter. No man in Indiana possesses a broader or more 
comprehensive knowledge of the men and affairs of the State, and 
the correctness of his views upon questions which from time to time 
form issues to divide the people, and his boldness and fearlessness in 
expressing them, have made him a recognized leader of thought in the 
State. In short he has been a most useful citizen and servant of the 
commonwealth, and he is still only in his prime. 

Mr. Sayre was born iu Wal)ash County, Indiana, July 29, 1844, and 
he has made that county his home ever since. He is the son of Daniel 
and Mary Newhall Grover Sayre, his father having represented Wabash 
County in the General Assembly of 1S71. He attended tlie schools of 
Wabash and was graduated from Union College, Schenectady, New 
York. He was married in 1865 to Martha J. Bronk, of Albany, New 
York, and has one son, Daniel Bronk Sayre, born February 4, 1868. 

Mr. Sayre was elected to the State Senate in 1880, and at the close 
of his term was elected a member of the House of Representatives 
where he has served five sessions since. In 1S8G lie was elected Speaker, 
and performed the duties of the office ably and acceptably. In 1SS9 
President Harrison appointed him a member of the Cheroljee Commis- 
sion, to buy Oklahoma Territory from the Indians, the task requiring 
four years. 

Mr. Sayre is a Republican in politics, and has aided the party in the 
State through many a hard-fought battle.

JOSEPH E. BELL. 



Joseph E. Bell was born November 28, 1865, in Union County, Indiana. 
His early life was spent working upon the farm. 

He attended the high school at Liberty, Indiana, and afterwards the 
Hollirook Normal School at Lebanon, Ohio. At nineteen years of age he 
began teaching in the common schools of Union County, which he fol- 
lowed for two years, working upon the farm during vacation. 

In 1SS6 he entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, taking 
a course In the law department, from which he graduated in June, 1888. 

In August of that year he located in the city of Indianapolis to begin 
the practice of law. General Harrison was then a candidate for Tresi- 
dent and the campaign was at its height. Being a stanch Democrat, Mr. 
Bell at once became active in local politics, associating himself with the 
Hon. Thomas Taggart, who was then chairman of the Democratic county 
committee of Marion County. The Indiana Legislature elected that year 
was Democratic l)y a small majority, and when the General Assembly 
of 1889 met Mr. Bell was appointed reading clerk of the House of Rep- 
resentatives. 

After the adjournment Mr. Bell began the practice of law and 
was successful from the beginning. In 1893 he was appointed to the posi- 
tion of assistant city attorney of the city of Indianapolis under the ad- 
ministration of the Hon. Thomas L. Sullivan as Mayor. When the Hon. 
Thomas Taggart was elected Mayor in 1895 Mr. Bell was appointed to 
the position of first assistant city attorney and continued In that office 



Mooke's Hoosieb Cyclopedia. 201 

througli Mayor Tagg.irt's three administratious. During this time Mr. 
Bell had charge of the city's litigation, having conducted practically all 
of the trials in which the city wjis engaged during those six years. Dur- 
ing this time he gained the reputation of being an excellent trial lawyer. 

Mr. Bell has always been active in the politics of the city, county 
and State, being one of the close advisers of the Hon. Thomas Taggart, 
chairman of the national Democratic committee, and was a delegate to 
the national Democratic convention at St. Louis in 1904. He is now as- 
sociated in the practice of law with the Hon. John W. Kern, their 
offices being in the State Life Building. 

Mr. Bell is a man of splendid ability, of tireless energy, and is held 
in hiph esteem by all who know him. 

He was married in 1888 to Miss Anna L. Miller of Preble County, Ohio.

JAMES E. WATSON, 
Member of Congress from Sixth lodiaua District. 

James E. Watson, one of tlie most widely Ivuown of the thirteen 
members of Congress from Indiana, was born in Winchester, Randolph 
County, November 2, 1864. He began his education in the Winchester 
High School, from which he graduated at the age of 17. He imuu'di- 
ately entered DePauw University, devoting himself to diligent study for 
four j^ears, at the end of which time he returned to Winchester and 
began reading law in the office of Watson »& Engle. He was admitted 
to the bar in 1888, and his success in the law since then has been very 
pronounced. Possessing superior natural abilities as a thinker and rea- 
soner, he is also an orator of a high grade of talent; and being ready 
in repartee and wit, his adaptability to the exigencies of debate is com- 
plete. These talents have stood him equally will in hand in the realm 
of politics and statesmanship, wherein even greater achievements have 
been scored. 

Mr. Watson is a member of several of the leading fraternal orders, 
in some of which high honors have been conferred upon him. Of the 
Knights of Pythias he served one term as Grand Chancellor, and he also 
served as a representative to the Supreme Lodge of the order. 

In 1893 Mr. Watson removed to Rushville, Indiana, and his political 
career may be said to have begun soon afterward. In 1894 he contested 
for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, and was second 
in a list of strong candidates before the convention. In the fall of the 



Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 203 

same year he was elected a member of Congress, defeating the veteran 
Democrat, Hon. Wm. S. Ilolman, in a niemoral)le contest. In 1896 he 
lost the nomination for re-election to Hon. Henrj^ U. Johnson, a change 
in their districts having macie the two men rivals. Johnson's victory 
was by a scratch, however, .md when the time for another nomination 
came around in 1898, he was not a candidate. Mr. Watson was nomi- 
nated without opposition, and enjoyed similar experiences in 1900, 1902 
and 1904, being successful in the election which followed in each in- 
stance. Meanwhile he has made a record in Congress which has fully 
jusiifled the high estimation in which his friends have always held him. 
He is rated as the most eloquent and forceful speaker in the House of 
Kepresentatives, and wields an influence in National legislation scarcely 
second to any. He is a member of the important Ways and Means Com- 
mittee, and is in line for further promotion.

THOMAS B. MILLIKAN. 



Tlionia.s B. Alillikau was burn iu Ileiiiy County, Indiana, March 28, 
1854, being tlie son of John R. and Martha Koons Millilian. The father 
was a farmer and banker, having served as President of the Citizens' 
State Bank of New Castle from 1873 till the date of his death in 1896. 
During this time he served two terms as Representative from Henry 
County in the State Legislature. The natural bent and aptitude of his 
son, Thomas B., for the banking business are easily accounted for. 

Thomas B. Millikan received his education in the common schools 
of Henry County, the New Castle High School and the Holbrook Nor- 
mal, at Lebanon, Ohio. His boyhood days were spent upon the farm. 

At the age of nineteen Mr. Millikan accepted a place in the Citizens' 
State Bank at New Castle as assistant cashier, and he has held this 
position continuously since, a period of thirty-two years. His careful 
study of all financial problems and his tact and caution in the per- 
formance of his responsible duties not only made him one of the most 
trusted advisers to the higher officers of the institution, but contributed 
largely to the notable prosperity of the bank. His work as a successful 
though safe and conservative financier has made his name familiar 
throughout the State. 

Mr. Millikan was State Bank Examiner eight years, serving from 
1892 to 1900, under State Auditors A. C. Daily and W. H. Hart, succes- 
sively. He was chosen to represent Hon. Yates Nebeker, who was 



Moore's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 205 

appointed Treasurer of the United States by President Harrison to suc- 
ceed Hou. J. N. Huston, resigned. Tlie duties of tlie position occupied 
about three months of Mr. JNIillikau's time, tlie most of which was 
devoted to counting mouey at the National Treasury at Washington. 

His experience and training have been such as to qualify him v/ell 
for the office of State Treasurer, to which Mr. Millikan is known to 
aspire and for which his friends have pressed his claims enthusiastic- 
ally. He was in the race for the Republican nomination in 1902, and 
was second on the list when the successful candidate reached the home- 
plate with only three and one-half votes to spare. His name is very 
prominent among the assured contestants for the honor in 1906. 

Mr. Millikan is an ardent Republican and always a worker for his 
party's interests. He has been a member of the Henry County Com- 
mittee continuously for the last twenty-six years. 

He was married in 1877 to Miss Alice Peed, and this happy com- 
panionship lasted until July 28, 1902, when death claimed the faithful 
wife. Three children were born to bless the union, and all survive.

HOW TO GET MARRIED. 



Under tlie new marriage law passed by the Indiana Legisla- 
ture of 1905, a marriage license will not be issued to any person, 
male or female, who is an imbecile, of unsound mind, or epileptic, 
or to any person who is afflicted with a transmissible disease, 
or who is under the influence of an intoxicating liquor or nar- 
cotic drug at the time of making application. And license will 
not be issued to any male who is or has been within five years 
an inmate of any poorhouse or home for indigent persons, unless 
he can show that the cause of such condition has been removed, 
and that he is able to support a family. 

The application for a marriage license must contain a state- 
ment of the full Christian and surname, color, occupation, birth- 
place, residence and age of each of the parties, and fxiU Christian 
and surnames, residence, color, occupation and birthplace of their 
parents, including the maiden name of the mother, and a state- 
ment showing whether the marriage contemplated is the first. 



Mooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 275 

second or other marriage, and such other facts as may be neces- 
sary to determine whether any legal impediments to tlie proposed 
marriage exist. 

For seciiring a marriage license by any false statement, pre- 
tense or misrepresentation, a penalty not exceeding .$500 may 
be imposed. A minister or other person who solemnizes an 
illegal marriage lays himself liable to the same penalty. A clerk 
who issues a license contrary to the provisions of the law may be 
fined $25 to $100. 

If persons resident of this State, in order to evade the provi- 
sions of the law, go into another State and get married, Avitli the 
intention of returning to live in this State, and do so return, tliey 
lay themselves liable to a penalty not exceeding .$.500, and their 
marriage is void — providing this particular provision of the law 
is constitutional, which is doubtful.

Origin of the Nickname "Hoosier.'' 



The origin of the nickname ' 'Hoosier, ' ' as applied to Indiana, 
and to citizens of the state, is not known. The derivation most 
commonly accepted is from "Who's yer?" the crude salutation of 
the early settlers to unknown travelers coming to their cabins at 
night. 

Other theories are advanced. One is that the name originated 
in New Orleans in the early days when the surplus produce of 
Indiana farms was carried down the Mississippi in flat boats. The 
men in charge of these boats congregated in large numbers on the 
levee at New Orleans, and fights between themselves and other 
flat boat m.en were frequent. The Indiana men had a habit of 
ordering others to "hush up" when their talk became objectionable 
or too loud, and if the offender didn't hush up when bidden, he was 
sometimes silenced by Indiana knuckles and bravvm. Hence Indi- 
anians were called "hushers", a word that found an easy transition 
to Hoosiers, 

Another story is that the name originated in Kentucky at the 
close of a lecture in which a heroic regiment of French Huzzars 
was highly praised. A let of Indiana men v.-crc there, and v/crc 
participants in a free fight v/hich followed the lecture program. 
One of them, still enthuced over the narrative of the brave deeds 
of the French soldiers, shouted out that he and his friends were 
regular Huzzars. The name stuck to the Indiana men, and was 
soon converted into Hoosiers. 



(276) 



Tippecanoe Battle Ground. 



The Buttle oJ" Tippecanoe, fought near the confluence of the 
Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers, a few miles north of the present 
city of Lafayette, was tlie largest and most celebrated armed 
conflict ever waged on the soil of the State of Indiana. It took 
place in the early morning of November 7, ISll, and was really 
the first shot fired in the War of 1S12. General William Henry 
Harrison commanded the little army of Americans, while 'the 
Indians were led by the doughty chieftain, Tecumseh. On the 
American side the battle was fought largely by Indiana men. 
In General Harrison's armj'' were two hundred and fifty regulars, 
sixty Kentuckians, and six hundred Indianans. The loss con- 
sisted of thirty-seven killed, and one hundred and fifty-one 
wounded, of whom fifteen aftei'ward died from the effects of 
their injuries. The Indians were thoroughly routed, and the 
designs of Tecumseh completely foiled. The result was very im- 
portant. If the battle had not been fought, or if the Indians had 
won it, enabling Tecumseh to accomplisn his designs, the suc- 
cess of the Americans in the War of 1812 might have been 
jeopardized. 

General Tipton bought the land on which the battle Avas 
fought, and on November 7, 1836, deeded it to the State of Indi- 
ana, to be preserved as a public park for all time to come. An 
effort is being made to have a monument erected on this historic 
spot. 

Of such significance was the Battle of Tippecanoe, that it 
became the unwritten law of the State in its early history, that 
when new counties were formed, they should be named after 
men who fought in the battle. Among the counties so named 
are White, Wells, Tipton, Parke, Bartholomew, Spencer, Owen, 
Daviess, Dubois, Floyd, Warrick and Harrison. 

The greatest political meeting ever held in the State took 
place at the Tippecanoe Battleground in 1840, when General

William Henry Harrison, the "Hero of Tippecanoe," was a can- 
didate for President. Opposed to General Harrison was Martin 
Van Buren. This was known as a singing, as well as a "hard 
cider"' campaign. Below we reproduce a stanza from each of 
the two most popular songs of the Harrison adherents: 

OLD TIPPECANOE. 

(Air: Old Rosin De Bow.) 
"Hurrah for the log cabin, chief of our .'oys; 

For the old Indian figlater, hurrah! 
Hurrah! And from mountain to valley the voice 

Of the peopio re-echo hurrah! 
Then come to the ballot-box. boys, come along, 

He who never lost battle for you. 
Let us down with o])pression and tyranny's throng. 

And up with Old Tippecanoe." 

TIPPECANOE AND TYLER, TOO. 
(Air: Little Pig's Tail.) 
"Let them talk about hard cider, cider, cider. 

And log cabins too. 
'Twill only help to speed the ball. 

For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too. 

For Tippecanoe and Tyier, too, 

Tippecanoe and Tyler, too. 
And with -them we'll beat Little Van, 

Van, Van, he's a used-up-mau 
And with them we'll beat Little Van." 

(The author is indebted to Hon. Alva O. Reser of Lafayette, 
for most of the data for this sketch.) 




THE GRAVE OF NANCY HANKS LINCOLN. 
At Lincoln City, Indiana, 



(280) 



The Grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. 



A sacred spot on Indiana soil is the grave of Nancy Hanks, 
tlie motlier of Abraham Lincohi. It is located, near the little 
town of Lincoln City, in Spencer County, and a beautiful but 
unostentatious monument marks the site. The grave, and 
twenty-one acres of land surrounding it, are a public reservation, 
owned by the State, to he held in perpetuity for the beneflt of 
patriotic citizens who revere the name of our first martyred 
President, and honor the memory of his sainted mother. The 
ground Avas donateit to the State by Spencer County, and the 
monument was erected with funds raised by popular subscrip- 
tion. The care of the grave, and beautiflcation of the grounds, 
are entrusted to the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial Association, 
a self-periietuating body composed of one representative each 
from the Grand Army of the Republic, The Women's Relief 
Corps, The Loyal Legion and The Sons of Veterans, and the 
Governor of the State, who is chairman. 

About one-half mile from the little cemetery in which Nancy 
Hanks Lincoln founil a last resting place, stands the "Lincoln 
Tree," which marks the spot Avliere stood the humble cabin home 
of the Lineolns during their residence in Indiana. They had 
moved there from Kentucky to escape an epidemic of "milk 
sickness," which had attained almost to the proportions of a 
scourge in their native State. Here young Abraham spent a 
part of his boyhood days, and suffered his tirst great g-rief, 
caused by the death of liis mother.

SCRAPS OF LEGAL INFORMATION FOR GUIDANCE OF 
HUNTERS AND FISHERMEN. 



The law oftVrs no protection to the foHowing birds: English 
or European house sparrows, crows, hawks, or other birds of 
prey; the anatidtc, commonly called swans, geese, brant, river 
and sea duck; the raillidse, commonly known as rails, coots, mud- 
hens and gallilunes; the linicohe, commonly known as shore 
birds, plovers, surf birds, snipe, sandpipers, tattlers, and curlews. 

Whoever bunts or shoots wild birds, rabbits, or any kind of 
game with firearms on Sunday may, on conviction, be fined in 
any sum from $1.00 to -$60.00. 

Whoever hunts with dog or ferrets, or shoots with any kind 
of firearms upon any land without first securing consent of the 
owner or tenant thereof, may be fined not less than $10 nor more 
than $25. 

Whoever, while hunting on lands of another, carelessly or 
wantonly injures any live stock or property, real or personal, 
of any person, may be fined an amount not less than equal to 
the value of the property destroyed, and not more than double 
the value of property so destroyed or amount of injury done. 

It is unlawful for any person to hunt anywhere within the 
State, except in the township wherein he resides, without first 
procuring a license so to do. This license must be procured from 
the Commissioner of Fisheries and Game, and costs a fee of $1.00 
per year. Such license when issued must have attached to it 
a photograph of the holder, and contain a description of iiis 
age, height, weight, color of hair and of eyes, etc. The holder 
of such license must carry it with him for purpose of exhibiting 
it on demand while hunting. 

Any person not a resident of the State desiring to hunt any- 
where m the State, is required to secure a license of the Clerk 
of the Circuit Court of any county. He must accompany his 
application with a statement under oath of his name, age, occu-

license when issued must have attached thereto the photograph 
of the holder. Any such licensee is allowed to take from the 
State 24 birds of all kinds killed by himself, but they must be 
carried openly for inspection together with the license. Fine 
for violation, $25.00 to $50.00, to which may be added imprison- 
ment for 30 to GO days. 

Fish are not allowed to be taken with seines, nets, spears, or 
traps, and persons may be fined $5.00 to $200, for having such 
appliances in their possession. This does not apply, however, 
when such appliances are used for taking fish in Lake Michigan, 
the Ohio River, or the Wabash River in so far as those bodies 
of water constitute boundary lines. Nor do these restrictions 
apply to owners of prlA'ate ponds who keep a seine for use in 
such ponds only, nor to minnow traps or seines. 

Any person who shoots fish in any of the waters of the State 
lays himself liable to a fine of $5.00 to $50.00 for each offense. 
For using dynamite or other explosives the fine is $250 to $1,000. 
and imprisonment 30 days to one year. 

Railroad and express companies, or other commo ; carriers, 
or individuals, are forbidden to transport or carry game or fish 
of any kind out of the State. 




BROWN COUNTY JAIL, NASHVILLE, IND, 



This is probably the most primitive couuty building of any 
kind in Indiana. Perhaps If the people of Brown County had 
more use for a jail they would build a more modern one. At 
the date of the jail census, October 31, 1904, the Brown County 
jail held no prisoner, and during the entire year ending upon that 
date there had been but seven incarcerations, and tAVO of these 
were tramps.

DECATUR COUNTY COURTHOUSE, GREENSBURG. 

SHOWING MAPLE TREE GROWING IN TOWER. 

This tree is about fifteen feet high, six inclies in diameter of 
trunlv, and has been growing there for twenty years. It is sup- 
posed to have started from a seed dropped in a crevice between 
the stones, but what the roots now feed upon, or how the tree 
manages to hold onto its perilous position through storm and 
wind is a mystery, and no matter how dry the weather, its foliage 
remains as green as that of other trees more naturally situated. 
The tower on which it grows is 134 feet high.

Geological Sketch of Indiana. 

(By W. S. Blatchley, State Geologist.) 



Periods of Geological Time. 

The surface rocks of Indiana represent five great periods of 
geological time. These, named in the order of their age, are the 
Lower Silurian, Upper Silurian, Devonian, Lower Carboniferous 
and Carboniferous. 

The Cincinnati Uplift. 

At one time the entire area of what is now known as Indiana 
was covered by a great ocean which stretched far away to the 
southwest, while to the north and northeast it extended beyond 
the present sites of the Great Lakes. In what is known as 
Lower Silurian time, an upheaval, caused by some subtferranean 
force, brought above the sea a large island of Lower Silurian 
rock, which, ever since, has been dry lan'd. The upheaval was 
greatest over the point where Cincinnati, Ohio, is now located, 
and the "Cincinnati Uplift" is the name giveif by geologists tb 
the island. The main portion of that island comprised the south- 
western corner of what is now Ohio and a part of northeastern 
Kentucky. It also included a small portion of what is now 
Indiana, and formed the first and oldest portion of the surface 
of our State. Belonging to this LoAver Silurian area is a part or 
all of the surface of the followiui^ counties: Wayne, Union, Fay- 
ette, Franklin, Dearborn, Ripley, Ohio, Switzerland and Jeffer- 
son. The exposed rocks which form the surface of these coun- 
ties are chiefly blue limestone shales, which are mterbedded 
with a highly fossiliferous limestone. While the drift covers ail 
of this area, it is everywhere quite thin, and in the valleys and 
the beds of the streams the surface rocks ai'e, in many places 
exposed. 

(19) (2<9) 



290 AIooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 

The Gas and Oil Fields. 

In time, by another upheaval, there was added to this 
island in southeastern Indi.ana a large area of the present State. 
The rocks so added formed what is known as the Niagara lime- 
stone of the Upper Silurian period. It comprised a long penin- 
sula-like strip of land whose general frend was northwest and 
southeast. It is broadest in the northern portion and forms the 
surface rocks of all or part of the following counties: White, 
Cass, Miami, Wabash, Huntington, Wells, Adams, Jay, Black- 
ford, Grant, Howard, Tipton, Madison, Delaware, Randolph, 
Wayne, Henry, Hancock, Hamilton, Rush, Fayette, Decatur, 
Ripley, Jennings and Jefferson. 

It is in this area that ihe principal gas and oil fields of the 
State are found. Bores have been sunk through the Niagara or 
Upper Silurian, and the upper part of the Lower Silurian into 
what is know as the Trenton limestone. When the silt and 
mud from which this limestone was formed was first deposited 
in the sea, there was buried in it myriads of low forms of animals 
and plants. These wei'e shut off from the air by the water 
above them and by mud and other materials, and so did not 
decay, but imderwent a slow process of distillation and, in the 
course of thousands of years, were changed into the oil. From 
this oil a volatile natural gas arose and entered the porous parts 
of the Trenton limestone. In time man sunk his drill holes to 
this stone and piped off the gas and burned it as fuel. Since 
1891 he has also removed from the Trenton limestone in Indiana 
66,453,785 barrels of petroleum or crude oil, which sold for 
.$54,884,041. or an average of nearly four millions of dollars per 
year. In 1904, this oil was the most valuable ri'Utural resource 
of the State, there being produced during that year 11,281,0.30 
barrels, valued at $12,127,107. 

Neither oil nor gas is being formed beneath the surface of 
Indiana at the present time, and we are, therefore, drawing 
upon a stored product, which can not be replaced when ex- 
hausted. 



Mooke's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 291 

The Devonian Epoch. 
After the Upper Silurian period, the rocks of the so-called 
Devonian epoch were laid down in the ocean, and in time up- 
heaved. The3' comprise an irregular strip eight to forty-five miles 
In width, which lies along the western edge of the Niagara lime- 
stone, from the Ohio River near Jeffersonville, to a point near 
Rensselaer, Jasper County, and form the surface of the follow- 
ing counties: Clark, Scott, Jefferson, Jennings, Jackson, Bai-^ 
tholomew, Decatur, Rush, Shelby, Johnson, Marion, Hancock, 
Hamilton, Boone, Clinton, Tipton, Carroll, Cass, Tippecanoe, 
White and Jasper. The Devonian rocks are made up, for the 
most part, of limestones and black shales. The latter are often 
mistaken for coal. They contain some oil, and will burn for a 
short time, but are of no value as a fuel. From the limestones 
of this period what is known as hydraulic, or natural rock ce 
ment, is made in the southern part of the State. 

The Lower Carboniferous Epoch. 
Following the Devonian period came that of the Lower Car- 
boniferous. The rocks of this epoch are comprised of what is 
known as knobstone, or sand shales, and the Lower Carbon- 
iferous limestones. They form ihe surface over a strip of ter- 
ritory 40 miles or more in width, lying between the western edge 
of the Devonian and the eastern edge of the Carboniferous rocks, 
and extending from the Ohio River, near New Albany, iii a 
northwesterly direction to the Illinois line in Benton and Newton 
counties. The following countie.5. therefore, lie either partly or 
wholly within this Lower Carboniferous area: Benton, Warren. 
Tippecanoe, I'ountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hendricks, Putnam, 
Owen, Morgan, Johnson, BartholomeAV, Brown, Monroe, Greene, 
Lawrence, Jackson, Scott, Washmgton, Orange, Crawford, Perry, 
Harrison, Floyd and Clark. 

Building Stones and Caves. 
Two features of this Lower Carboniferous area are worthy 
of especial note. First, is the Bedford oolitic limestone, which 
is noted as the finest building limestone in the United States. 



292 Moore's Hoosier CYCLOFEDrA. 

It is composed of the globular shells of minute one-celled ani- 
mals, which were deposited in untold myriads In the sea waters 
of the time. The shells or cell walls of these animals were com- 
posed of a very pure form of carbonate of lime, and when they 
died and sank on the old sea bottoms they were cemented to- 
gether by the same material. Under the lens they resemble a 
mass of fish eggs soldered togethei", hence the name "oolitic," 
which means "lilie an egg." The Bedford limestone is noted 
among architects for its strength and durability, and for the 
ease with which it may be sawed or carved into any desired 
form. 

Second, it is among these Lower Carboniferous rocks of 
southwestern Indiana that we find the noted caves of the State. 
These were formed in the limestone by the erosion of under- 
ground waters. Some of them possess great vaulted rooms, deep 
pits, high waterfalls and streams of water large enough to allow 
the ready passage of a boat. All of these caves are due to the 
action of water. During the ages which have elapsed since the 
limestone was raised above the sea, it has carved every room and 
passage in these caves, and has formed, by solution and evap- 
oration, the wonderful stalactites and other formations which 
decorate the walls and ceilings of their rooms. The largest and 
most noted of these caves is that known as "Wyandotte," in 
Crawfoi'd County, which excels in beauty the Mammoth Cave of 
Kentucky. It contains nearly five miles of subteiTanean pas- 
sages, and the largest underground rooms known to man. 

Carboniferous Area and the Coal Fields. 
The newest portion of Indiana comprises what is known as 
the Carboniferous area, in th? western and southwestern por- 
tion of the State. Nearly 7,500 square miles belong to this area, 
which comprises the surface of the following counties: Vermil- 
lion, Parke, Vigo, Clay, Sullivan Knox, Daviess, Gibson, Pike, 
Dubois, Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick and Spencei'. The Car- 
boniferous area thus has a maximum length from north to south 
of about 200 miles and a maximum width from east to west of 
about 100 miles, being narrow to the north and broad toward 



Mooke's Hoosieb Cyclopedia. 293 

the south. It is within ihis area that there occur those live 
great veins of coal which I'orms today the chief mineral wealth 
of our State, and those vast beds of overlying shale which, in 
recent years, have come to be used for so many varied products. 
In the year 1904 there was mined 9,872,404 tons of coal, valued 
at nearly ten millions of dollars, and it is estimated that eight 
billions of tons of workable coal occur beneath the surface of 
this portion of our State. 

Work of the Glacier. 

In addition to the area mentioned the three northern tiers 
of counties in the State are so deeply covered with the drift 
that the character of their sm-face rocks is not known, except 
where deep bores have been sunk in search of oil or gas. All 
of these bores have, however, shown the underlying rocks to 
belong to one of the five great geological periods heretofore 
mentioned. The so-called "drift" whicH covers all the rocks of 
this region of the State, and nearly three-fourths of its entire 
area, was brought from the north thousands of years ago by a 
great moving mass of ice, and deposited where it now lies. This 
ice mass was known as a glacier, and as it moved slowly south- 
ward, great masses of partly decayed rock and clay from hill- 
sides and jutting cliffs, rolled down upon it and were carried on 
to drop hundreds of miles from their parent ledges. 

All the so-called "boulders" and the drift soils of northern 
and central Indiana were thus deposited where they now lie. 
The level and more fertile counties of the State lie within the 
drift covered area, and its southei'n limit marks practically the 
boundary of the great corn and wheat producing portion of the 
State. But few of the prtsent inhabitants of Indiana realize 
how much they owe to this glacial invasion of our domain in the 
distant past. It not only determined the character oj. the soil, 
the contour of the countiy and the minor lines of drainage, but 
in many other ways it had to do with the pleasure, the health 
and the prosperity of the present population. 



Indiana Farm Statistics. 



ACCORDING to the Census of 1900, there are 221,897 farms in 
Indiana. These farms contain 21,619,623 acres, of which 
16,680,358 are improved and 4,939,265 unimproved. The 
average size of farms for the state is 97.4 acres. 

A "farm" as defined by the Twelfth Census, includes all the 
land under one management, the house in which the farmer re- 
sides, and all other buildings used by him in connection with his 
farming operations. 

The value of the farms in 1900 was $841,735,340. Of this 
amount $154,101,880, or 1C.3 per cent represents the value of 
buildings and $687,633,460, or 81.7 per cent, the value of land and 
improvements other than buildings. 

On the same date the value of farm implements and machinery 
was $27,330,370, and of live stock on farms, $109,550,761. 

Adding these different values gives $978,616,471, the total 
value of farm property, which is far from being an inconsiderable 
portion of the entire wealth of the state. 

In the last ten years the total value of farm property increas- 
ed $109,293,684. The increase in the value of land, improvements, 
and buildings was $86,946,230, or 11.5 per cent; in that of imple- 
ments and machinery, $6,158,115, or 29.1 per cent; and in that of 
live stock, $16,189,339, or 17.3 per cent. 

The value of farm products for 1899 exceeds that reported for 
1889 by $109,690,934, or 115.8 per cent. 

There are in the United States, 5,739,657 farms; 4,970,129 of 
these are operated by white farmers; 746,717 by negroes; 19,910 
by Indians; 1,842 by Chinese; and 570 by Japanese. 

In Indiana the white farm operators number 220,835; negro, 
1,043; Indian, 19. Total, 221,897. 

The total value of farm property in the United States, includ- 
ing land, improvements and buildings, implements, machinery and 
live stock, is $20,514,001,338. This is according to the Census of 

(294) 



Mooee's Hoosier Cyclopedia. 



295 



1900. In 1890 the total value of farm property was $15,982,267,689. 
The increase in the wealth of the farmers of the United States in 
ten years, therefore, was over Four and a half Billion Dollars. 

The gain in wealth of Indiana farmers during the same period, 
was $109,293,684. 

The average value per farm of farm property in the United 
States, is $3,574. 

In Indiana the average value per farm of farm property, is 
$4,410. In Ohio it is $4,333; in Illinois, $7,588; in Michigan, $3,396; 
in Kentucky, $1,712. The lowest average values are in the South- 
ern States. In Mississippi the average is $925; in South Carolina, 
$989; in North Carolina, $1,041: in Georgia, $1,016; in Alabama, 
$804.

AVERAGE VALUES OF ANIMALS IN INDIANA. 



The increase in the number of live stock from 1890 to 1900 was 
not great, the number of dairy cows even showing a slight decrease. 

The average value of calves under 1 year of age in 1900, was 
$9.81. Steers ranged from $21.38 to $47.75. The average value of 
bulls was $38.93; of cows kept for milk, $31.84; colts, $24.95; horses,

298 Moore's Hoosier Cyclopebia. 

VALUE OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS IN INDIANA. 



Following are the values of the different items of the Animal 
Industry in 1899, as given by the Twelfth Census: 

Wool, $1,491,743; Mohair and goat hair, $282; Milk, Butter and 
Cheese, including the value of milk sold or consumed, and of all 
butter and cheese made, $15,739,594; Eggs, $7,441,944; All Poultry 
raised, $8,172,993; Honey and wax, $219,110; Animals sold, 
$40,865,661; Animals slaughtered on farms, $8,016,595. 

Total value of Animal products, $81,947,922. 



TOTAL VALUE OF FARM PROPERTY, FARM 
INCOME, ETC. 



As shown heretofore, the value of all crops in Indiana, was 
$122,502,274. Adding this to the value of Animal products, 
$81,947,922, gives $204,450,196, which constitutes the total value of 
farm products. 

The value of products fed to live stock on the farms of the 
producers, was $48,469,400. Deducting this from the total value 
of products leaves $155,980,796, which is styled the "gross farm 
income." There were no reports of expenditures fcr taxes, inter- 
est, insurance, feed purchased for live stock, etc. , so the net farm 
income could not be given. 

EXPENDITURES FOR LABOR AND FERTILIZERS ON 
INDIANA FARMS IN J 899. 



The total expenditure for labor on farms in 1899; including the 
value of board furnished, was $9,685,540, an average of $44 per 
farm. 

For the different classes of farms, the average amounts ex- 
pended for labor were as follows : $644 for nurseries, $520 for 
florists' establishments, $67 for dairy farms, $59 for vegetable 
farms, $55 for fruit farms, $51 for hay and grain farms, $41 for 
live-stock farms, $22 for sugar farms, and $16 for tobacco farms. 

Fertilizers purchased in 1899 cost $1,553,710, an average of $7 
per icti in and an increase since 1890 of 99.8 per cent. The average 
expenditure was $32 for nurseries, $23 for florists' establishments, 
$8 for hay and grain farms, $7 for fruit farms, $6 for live-stock 
farms, and $5 for vegetable, dairy, tobacco, and sugar farm3.

FRAMPTON'S 

School House Window Shade 

THE BEST THERE IS! 



BOTH PLEASING AND HEALTHFUL TO THE EYE. A COMMON-SENSE WINDOW 

SHADE THAT FILLS A LONG-FELT WANT. ENDORSED BY HEALTH 

OFFICERS AND SCHOOL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. 

Simple as is its construction and operation, it is difficult, in fact, impossible to describe 
In this small space FRAMPTON'S PERFECT WINDOW SHADE. It is made of soft- 
finished duck, and suspended from a single cord passing through an automatic catch 
pulley, and so constructed and arranged that it can be raised or lowered instantly, or re- 
duced in size 34, 3-2 or %. and manipulated so as to shade the window at top, bottom 
or middle, leaving as much of the rest of the window unshaded, as desired. No such con- 
venience for regulating and absolutely controlling the admission of light or sunshine 
through a window was ever before invented. It must be seen in operation to be properly 
appreciated. 

HIGH AUTHORITIES ENDORSE 
FRAMPTON'S SCHOOL HOUSE 
WINDOW SHADE D- 

It was exhibited by Dr. J. N. 
Hurty, Secretary of the State Board 
of Health, at a meeting of the State 
and Provincial Boards of Health 
of North America. Endorsed by 
The Health Bulletin, organ of the 
State Board of Health. 

Lawrence McTurnan, Deputy 
State Superintendent of Public In- 
struction, says: These (Frampton's) 
shades are constructed in such a 
manner as to give the best possible 
service for a longer period than any 
other shade that I have seen. 

C. A. Prosser, Supt. of Schools, 
New Albany, Ind.: We equipped 
our new High School building with 
I !8 of Frampton's shades within the 
last month, and are supplanting all 
old shades with this device. I re- 
gard it as being the best on the 
market. 

Other equally strong endorse- 
ments are given by T.F.Fitzgibbon, 
Supt. of Schools of Columbus, Ind. ; 
Edwin S. Monroe, Supt. of Schools 
of Frankfort, Ind.; A. E. Highley, 
Supt. Schools, Jonesboro; John W 
Dragoo, Trustee, Muncie; A. W. 
Cook, Trustee, Pendleton; Walter 
Hunt, Trustee, Noblesville, and 
many others.

Victory Due 

to 

i^erit 



y^UK STATE LIFE, the great Indiana Insurance Company, was 
(G) organized September 4, 1894. HSince that time it has won its way 
^"^ to the front ranii amonarst the greatest and most secure insurance 
companies of the world. To its credit stands the greatest record 
that any company has ever made, for its age. It will close the present 
year with upwards of Set)entt/=fiVe Millions of Insurance in force. 
The success of the Company, while phenomenal in volume of insurance 
written, has been no less remarkable in the character of the business. 
The Company is financially a rock of strength. The fact that its secur- 
ity is unquestioned results from the requirements of the law under 
which it was organized. The Legal Reserve Compulsory Deposit Law 
is the latest and most complete measure enacted regarding the govern- 
ment of life insurance companies. LTnder the Reserve Law companies 
are required to deposit with the Auditor of State, full cash value on all 
their policies; thus the State of Indiana, as custodian, holds full value 
of all policies. The funds of the State Life are therefore beyond the 
control of managers to dissipate. The law designates the character of 
securities companies shall deposit, which is a further guarantee of the 
absolute security to the policy holder. llThe State Life is the Company, 
above all others, that offers the brightest future and the greatest results 
to able and sincere men. It invites correspondence with those who 
desire to represent an institution which is solid, secure, successful.
